Rahul Gandhi downplays notice on dual citizenship row, says will deal with it

In the wake of showcause notice issued over citizenship row, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi said he will deal with it.

BJP veteran LK Advani-led Lok Sabha Ethics Committee served a notice on Rahul Gandhi over his alleged dual nationality issue.

BJP MP Arjun Ram Meghwal revealed the ethics committee has served Rahul Gandhi a notice and will act on the matter only after a reply from the Congress member.

"Rahul Gandhi has been issued notice to seek his response on why he declared himself a British citizen. The complaint was received by the speaker (Sumitra Mahajan) and she has forwarded the complaint to the ethics committee," said Meghwal, a member of the panel.

However, Rahul said downplayed the notice.

"We will deal that," Rahul Gandhi told the media.

Congress leaders said Rahul Gandhi does not need to prove his credentials as an Indian.
