Bring back billions in foreign banks: Advani
BJP's prime ministerial candidate L K Advani on Sunday announced setting up a task force to prepare a strategic document for getting back the national wealth stashed away in foreign banks.
The document would be prepared by a task force headed by IIM-Bangalore faculty R Vaidyanathan.
Advani also called upon Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to raise the issue at the G20 Summit. He said if NDA is voted to power in the coming elections it would bring back more than Rs 25 lakh crore deposited by corrupt politicians, venal businessman and criminals.
"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," Advani told reporters in New Delhi.
"The BJP saw in secret banking the RDX that has the potential not only to blow up national financial systems but also to support and fund global terror networks whose attacks on India increased during the UPA regime," he said.
