'No Black Money Abroad', BJP MPs to Reveal on Friday


New Delhi, Dec 8 (IANS): Main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Thursday said its MPs will give a declaration on the occasion of world anti-corruption day Friday that they don't have any black money or wrongly acquired assets abroad.

Rajya Sabha member and senior party leader S.S. Ahluwalia told reporters that the declaration has already been submitted to the two leaders of opposition in parliament, Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley.

"Our MPs have given their declarations to the respective leader of opposition of their house. Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley will submit these declarations to the presiding officers of their respective houses tomorrow which is also world anti-corruption day," Ahluwalia told reporters.

The announcement for this declaration was made by veteran party leader L.K. Advani in his Nov 21 rally marking the end of his nationwide Jan Chetna Yatra.

The declaration, Advani had said, would read like this: "I solemnly declare that I don't have directly or indirectly any bank account or asset illegally held outside India."

The announcement came in the wake of reports that three MPs figure in the list of 700 Indians who have allegedly stashed funds in Swiss bank accounts.

The opposition party has also sought a discussion on black-money, which was accepted by the government but could not take place due to repeated adjournments of parliament. The discussion is now slated for Dec 12.

    The BJP leaders purposely wrote this statement which is understood to all Indians that they have legal money stacked outside and illegal money inside the country.What about Kargil Coffins kickbacks?is it called as legal or illegal.What about sitaram kesri ?is he going to sign any or thumb impression?..I dont say congress MP's are clean but you cannot claim them guilty just because they are silent.NDA had suffecient time to get the money from swiss banks if they wanted to do so..What assurance they give people that they can bring back money from swiss bank which is thousand of miles away,they failed to build the ram temple which is within the boundaries of India.First you decide between Modi and Advani for future PM and then you sign these forms.I dont think you have a big heart like sonia who allowed others to become PM.

    They are correct. Nothing abroad but all in the country in benami bank accounts. Secondly what they are saying is "no black money belonging to BJP abroad should be brought to India".
