#Thread| Many videos have gone viral in the social media courtesy @RahulGandhi's latest interaction at the Chatham House.
Though these videos have different reasons for going viral. But one such video has been the buzz of social media!
1/n
In this viral video, Malini Mehra could be seen asking Rahul Gandhi - “I am feeling wretched about the condition of my country. My father was an #RSS man, proudly so; he would not now have recognise the country… How can we engage, re-empower our democracy?”

Malini Mehra is no ordinary Indian citizen, according to her biodata, she has been an advisor to many orgs of repute and NGOs across the world. Since 2017, she has worked as a Commissioner under London Mayor Sadiq Khan. She has been staying in London for the past many years.

Since Malini wanted to stay connected with India for a special purpose, she took to activism by engaging in environmental activities, akin to Greta Thunberg. Who doesn’t know Greta Thunberg?

To show her linkage with India, Malini found an org called The Centre For Social Markets (CSM).
According to the website of CSM, it is an independent non-profit org that works to create more environment-friendly, socially active and economically sustainable societies.

The most interesting part about this organisation is that it receives fundings from the European Union!
6/n
Malini Mehra’s NGO CSM has received crores from Fairtrade International, an organisation driven by European Union.
Fairtrade International is the same organisation that has been associated with George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.

According to Malini Mehra, “My father was in RSS, and he was proud of his country but he would not have recognised his country today”.
The truth is that her father is no longer alive.
8/n
In Malini Mehra Vs. State of NCT of Delhi case, it is clearly stated that her father Shri Madho Lal Mehra died on March 2nd 2011.
However, there is no concrete proof of his association with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
9/n
The important point to note here is that Malini Mehra who is helping Rahul Gandhi to promote his agenda by putting her father to the fore, had never been on good terms with her father since 2003.
10/n
According to an article published in “The Guardian” in 2003, Malini Mehra had an estranged relationship with her father and had once said about him that “He has a history of misrepresentation. He is no position to lecture anybody about integrity or governance.”

Malini was also once quoted saying that her father stopped using his name publicly way back in 1989, after he went bankrupt in Britain. However, her father when alive denied all such allegations stating that he never went bankrupt.
12/n
It is quite strange that a daughter who separated from her father in 2003 itself, will now remember him after almost two decades?
