Sonia canont have italian passport as she then could not be issued with an Indian passport. What is the basis for Britain to give Rahul a British passport. You seem to be knowing it but election Commission and present Home Ministry seem not to be knowing it. Pl provide information with proof to them so that they can take action in the matter.
first of sll Sonia Gandhi is an Italain and I doubt if she flew in to India without a passport...So she was an Italain when she was married and gave birth to her children. And Rahul Gandhi was born of an Italian mother with an Italian passport , so also Priyanka Vedra..As far as Britain and Italy or other European countries are concerned , they have no issue about dual or multiple citizen ship, which is not the case here and definitely not for those aspiring to rule the country and take over power !

Is Rahul Gandhi an Italian Citizen?
As per the Italian Citizenship Laws, a child born to an Italian parent is an Italian citizen, provided he/she was born before the naturalisation of his parent.
Sonia Gandhi married Rajiv Gandhi in 1968, and Rahul Gandhi was born in 1970. As per the Indian laws, Sonia Gandhi, even by virtue of marriage to an Indian citizen, couldn't have applied for Indian Citizenship before being a resident in India for atleast 7 years. Naturalistaion would take 12 years. This implies, that Rahul Gandhi was an Italian citizen on his birth.
