New Delhi:

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday broke his silence on the many allegations levelled on him and challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to order a probe against him.

-"The BJP and RSS people have been flinging allegations at my family forever, on my grandmother, my father and my mother. I have been seeing this since I was a child,-" Gandhi said at a function held in New Delhi to mark the 98th birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

-"Modiji is the PM and it is his government, you have all the agencies. Set them after me. Launch an investigation me and if find anything in six months put me in jail... but stop using your lackeys to dump dirt on my family,-" Rahul said.

Earlier this week, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy alleged that Rahul Gandhi has claimed himself to be a British national before the authorities there and demanded that he be stripped of Indian citizenship and Lok Sabha membership.

Swamy wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying it is a violation of constitutional provisions and demanded that action be taken against Gandhi.
