Pune, Nov 4 : Taking the UPA government to task for its “masterly inactivity” on black money front, senior BJP leader L K Advani today demanded a white paper on the issue of making public names of Indian account holders in Swiss banks.
“I demand that names of account holders in Swiss banks which have been given by the French government to India recently, must be made public and prompt follow up action be taken against them,” Advani who arrived in the city on his Janachetana yatra told a press conference.
Hinting that the focus of upcoming winter session will be on black money, Advani said “UPA government has demonstrated masterly inactivity and there is a deliberate design to divert and sidetrack the issue itself. Why the names of the account holders not being released ?”.
Alleging that the very intention of government is “suspect”, he said the taxation agreement with Switzerland would become effective from April 2012 and could enable the defaulters to transfer their account to some other banks or withdraw their money from Swiss bank.
Continuing his attack on Congress led UPA, Advani said it appeared that only DMK was suffering for corruption charges.
“Congress is running the UPA government. Only DMK is suffering for corruption. I have no soft corner for DMK but the names of other persons who have endorsed it have also surfaced in 2-G spectrum scam,” he commented.
