[HumJanenge] "Selfless Action" by Gandhi Pariwar

The recent media row about the Rs. 1,880 crores supposedly spent on
Sonia Gandhi's foreign trips is all rubbish and is not backed by the
RTI information.

Here is a summary of the facts as people are circulating to me:

1) Gandhi family are selfless karmayogis who selflessly act for the
nation and pay for all the expenses of their SPG bodyguards (hotels,
plane tickets, salaries etc) from their own funds without burdening
the Indian citizen.

2) That since the money is from their personal account they are not
required to report it to the Parliament, or the Govt or the NAC. Hence
it cannot be given in RTI

3) That Smt. Sonia Gandhi does not take even 1 rupee as salary from
the Govt despite her entitlement as Union Cabinet Minister and
Chairperson NAC.

4) That Smt. Sonia Gandhi only takes her (tax-free) dues as an
ordinary Member of Parliament.

5) That the property No. 10 Janpath is given to Ms. Sonia Gandhi to
live, in her capacity as widow of former Prime Minister and for
security reasons.

The Bhagwad Gita (2:39 .. 2:41) says that for such selfless action the
Gandhi Parivar can expect to be released from the endless cycles of
birth and death.
