Congress
leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury today shot himself in the foot when he
alleged that the RSS founder K. B. Hegdewar drew his inspiration
from the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. Chowdhury’s
allegations were swiftly and promptly responded back as the erudite
BJP leader Meenakshi Lekhi launched a scathing and unsparing attack
against the Congress party by jogging their memories on Sonia
Gandhi’s father’s support for the Italian dictator. Lekhi evoked
the shady past of Sonia Gandhi’s father, Stefano Maino and his
association with the fascist dictator Mussolini.
“If
you are going to allege that Mussolini was Hedgewar’s inspiration
then let me remind you, the maternal grandfather of the person(Rahul
Gandhi) sitting behind you worked in Mussolini’s army,”
Lekhi exclaimed.
Stefano
Maino, Rahul Gandhi’s maternal grandfather served as a foot
soldier in Italian dictator Benito Mussolini’s army. While the
mainstream media was successful in effectively obscuring the details
of the maternal side of Rahul Gandhi’s family, however, in a rare
interview with
the Outlook Magazine in 1998, Sonia Gandhi’s father, Stefano
Maino, candidly confessed his “unwavering loyalty to Mussolini and
Italy’s ‘admirable’ fascist past”. Maino was not only
unapologetic about his support for the fascist leader but he was
immensely proud of fighting against the Russian Reds alongside
Hitler’s Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front in World War II. He was
later captured as
Prisoner of War and was kept in a Soviet Prison where Sonia Gandhi
regularly visited him in Russian cities of Vladimir and Suzdal.
The
interviewer also observed that Stefano Maino’s house was festooned
with leather-bound speeches and writings of Benito Mussolini,
indicating that he was profoundly inspired by the fascist Italian
dictator Benito Mussolini, who teamed up with Nazi dictator Adolf
Hitler and presided over the unprecedented massacre of innocent
people, mostly Jews. Maino also held dim view of the then Italian
politicians, saying that “the current Italian government was
composed of a bunch of traitors who had betrayed Mussolini and the
Fatherland”. Wistfully longing Mussolini rule in Italy, Maino had
said that the current crop of Italian politicians was all hopeless
except the neo-fascist front. He also advocated authoritarian
measures such as forced sterilisation.
