The issue of black
money dominated in Lok Sabha on Wednesday with the Opposition asking the
government to bring back an estimated Rs 25 lakh crore stashed away
illegally in foreign banks and reveal identity of depositors. Moving
an adjournment motion on the issue, the first in the current Lok Sabha,
BJP veteran L K Advani also wanted a White Paper on the magnitude of
the black money menace and steps taken by the government to tackle it.
The
Chairman of the BJP Parliamentary Party said his party agreed with the
estimate of an international think-tank -- Global Financial Integrity --
that Rs 25 lakh crore have been illegally stashed away abroad by
Indians.
The
adjournment motion was on the situation arising out of money deposited
illegally in foreign banks and action being taken against the guilty
persons.
