Nowhere in the world, the official residences of govt heads are usurped in this manner by their families/successors as done by the Gandhi dynasty.

It was important to build a permanent, fixed place of residence for the Indian govt's head.

#THREAD The United States Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) declared India as a ‘Country of Particular Concern (CPC)’ in its 2020 Report.

CPC is a nation guilty of particularly severe violations of religious freedom under International Religious Freedom Act
CPC tag for India, can lead to crippling economic sanctions, once accepted by the US govt

The Report is a result of planned lobbying effort to influence #USCIRF by US based Islamist Fronts such as ICNA & IAMC, affiliated with terrorist org. like Jamaat-e-Islami, HM, LeT and SIMI
The MEA in India had already rejected the #USIRF locus standi & its Report, but no one realized that US Islamist lobby was behind it.

They operate under various names
- Justice for All
- Save India
- Free Kashmir
to hide their affiliations but are run by the same set of people.
