#BlackBucks: Supreme Court likely to take up hearing today
  • 5 years ago
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government on Monday disclosed the names of three people or entities it said had salted away unaccounted-for wealth in illegal foreign bank accounts, but none of them are politicians from the Congress party.

The names have also been in the public domain since 2012, although the fact that they are named in the government’s affidavit to the Supreme Court indicates that the state is ready to file charges against them (or has already done so).

The highly-anticipated revelations—they come in the wake of tantalizing interviews by finance minister Arun Jaitley to TV channels where he said the Congress party would be embarrassed by the names—came as a disappointment to many people, although it is highly likely that there will be more affidavits, and more names revealed in the days to come.

Indeed, later in the day, former minister Praneet Kaur of the Congress told TV channels that she had received a notice from the tax department concerning a foreign account allegedly in her name, and said she had no bank accounts in any foreign country.
