Priyanka denies Rahul Gandhi adopted son, threatens media
25 Sept 2014 5:45 AM IST
Sources said that Gandhi has threatened criminal and civil action for ‘defaming’ her son and she is ‘determined to pursue legal remedy’ against ‘false allegations and accusations’ being made about her family. The newspaper report had talked about speculation within top Congress circles on whether Rahul Gandhi is adopting his sister’s Priyanka’s son Rehan so as to enable him to use the Gandhi surname.
Rejecting it as a ‘malicious work of fiction’, Gandhi said in the notice: ‘To allege that a parent would willingly pass his/her child on to someone else as if he were an object devoid of emotion is morbid enough, but to ascribe to it the intention of perpetuating some sort of dynastic political aspiration is even more sickening.’
Gandhi has also taken strong objection to the report saying that Rahul has been named as her son’s guardian in his admission forms.
