Rajya Sabha MP Ram Jethmalani on Friday lashed out at the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for not making conscious efforts to expose the names of foreign black money hoarders.
Jethmalani alleged that the two parties failed to obtain the list of black money hoarders from Germany, which, according to him, possesses a list of 1400 Swiss bank accounts, majority of which belong to Indians.
While talking to media persons, Jethmalani said he had moved the Supreme Court for a list of Indians who had black money stashed in Switzerland.
"As the SC was about to deliver the verdict in my favour in 2011, then PM Manmohan Singh had a secret agreement with Swiss Government,” said Jethlamani claiming that the understanding enabled Government of India not to dig into previous Swiss accounts of Indians and won’t be seeking information under a UN agreement on corruption.
