TNN, Jalandhar :
A US court has ordered Congress president Sonia Gandhi to provide a copy of her passport by April 7 to establish that she was not in US from September 2 to September 9, 2013 as claimed by her in a declaration in a rights violation case filed against her by rights group, Sikhs for Justice, for allegedly protecting the perpetrators of the 1984 Sikh massacre. The court held that her declaration of January 10 saying that she was in US was not sufficient to prove her absence during the corresponding period.
US federal court for the Eastern District of New York said, “Defendant must provide some documentary evidence to corroborate her otherwise-unsupported declaration stating that defendant was not in the United States at the time of service.”
The court asked Sonia Gandhi to “provide a copy of her passport, showing her most recent entry and exit stamps into and out of the United States, thus demonstrating that she was not in the country between September 2 2013 to September 9, 2013.”
