The BJP questioned the Congress after a Delhi court directed a magistrate to examine a complaint alleging that Sonia was added to the electoral roll before she became an Indian citizen. The supplied material does not state the court’s findings, the BJP’s detailed response or the complaint’s outcome.

The BJP has questioned the Congress after a Delhi court directed a magistrate to look into a complaint concerning Sonia’s entry on the electoral roll, The Hindu reported. The complaint alleges that Sonia was added to the voters’ list before she became an Indian citizen. The court’s direction, as described in the supplied material, is for the magistrate to examine the complaint; it does not establish that the allegation has been proved.

The report does not provide the complainant’s identity, the date of the alleged addition to the electoral roll or the date on which Sonia became an Indian citizen. It also does not detail the BJP’s specific questions or any response from the Congress. The available information therefore concerns a judicial direction to examine the complaint and the political reaction that followed.

It does not indicate whether the magistrate has reached a conclusion or whether any legal action has resulted. The allegation remains an allegation in the material supplied. Further findings would be needed to establish the circumstances of the electoral-roll entry or determine whether any rule was breached.
