BJP: Make efforts to bring back money deposited in for banks

Sunday, March 29, 2009 at 3:03 pm

BJP today (March 29) demanded that the Government make efforts to bring back money deposited by Indians in foreign banks and asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to raise the issue at the upcoming G-20 summit.

The party also promised to bring this money to the country, if the NDA comes to power. “I demand the Prime Minister should seriously raise the matter at the G-20 summit and ask the countries to provide information about money of Indians deposited in foreign banks,” senior party leader Lal Krishna Advani told.

“If NDA gets the mandate, we will pursue this matter at legal and executive level and force such Indians to bring back their money from foreign countries and allow it to be used in India,” he added.

The BJP leader also said that he had written a letter to the PM earlier over the same issue for which he received an “evasive” reply from the Home Minister.

Advani’s statement comes after the NDA convener and JD-U chief Sharad Yadav had recently announced to make the issue of Indian money deposited in Swiss Bank an election issue and include it in his party’s manifesto.
