Centre to reveal names of 3 black money account holders to Supreme Court today


New Delhi, Oct 27 (Agencies) : The Centre will disclose the names of three black money account holders to the Supreme Court on Monday.

Sources say, the account holders are not political personalities and the names will be part of an affidavit the government will file.

Stung by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's remarks on the black money issue, Congress had asked the Modi Government to stop "blackmail" tactics and dared it to come out with full information, saying the party is above individuals.

A day after Arun Jaitley's remarks that disclosure of names of those holding illicit foreign accounts will embarrass the Opposition party, party general secretary Ajay Maken said Government should desist coming out with "half truths" and "selective leakage".

"Congress is not going to be blackmailed under any such threat. Do not try to blackmail us. Stricter possible action should be taken against whoever is involved in it but that should not be inspired by vindictiveness and it should also not be half truths," he told reporters.

The issue of black money has led to a war of words between the ruling BJP and Congress.

The Modi government, which promised to bring back black money stashed by Indians in foreign banks, toed the line of UPA regime by informing the Supreme Court on October 17 that it cannot disclose such details given by countries with which India has double taxation avoidance agreement(DTAA).

As Congress accused the BJP government of "practising "hypocrisy" on the issue, Jaitely had said, "The names (of black money account holders) will be public shortly. I can assure you there is no embarrassment I (BJP) will have when all the names are disclosed. There is some embarrassment the Congress party will have because of those names".

Reacting sharply to Jaitley's remarks, Maken said, "There is no need to blackmail Congress. Whatever names they have, they should reveal and act as they have a government. They should not try to blackmail us.

"We also tell them not to limit the declaration of names only to 136 individuals. We want to tell the BJP and the Prime Minister that half truth is not the truth. They should not go for selective and vindictive leakages. They should come out with all the names."

Maken also recalled that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his Lok Sabha election campaign, had said that if the black money is brought back, each citizen will have Rs.15 lakh while Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who was then BJP President, had promised to bring back black money within 100 days.

    It's such fun here counting our bonus although already d but...
    It is like " If wishes were horses, beggars would ride"

    Hearing Modiji promising so many bonuses we should feel like any one of the two sayings...
    Let us hope but we will not die in despair just because we all know what those promises are - all to be broken in the nearest future.

    There is no denying the food was almost cooked and there was not much effort from present Govt. on the same. SIT has done most of the work which was done by SC order.
    BJP can not take full credit for this. BJP too did well and hope they will continue doing well on this matter in the days ahead.
    All efforts of earlier and present Govt. can be appreciated when the B\M is really back and in the custody of the Govt.
    Do not make political issue of this as it is the existing Govt.'s responsibility to act on the B\M holders.

    Black money holders whether in places abroad or locally are traitors of the country. They can not be termed as of this political party or that. Political hue should not be given to, when their names are published. When it is possible legally, The Government should immediately release the names of all these anti-Indians for causing loss to the country.
    Jaitley's remarks saying Congress will be embarrassed by revealing names is unjustified. If Congress as a party has such illegal account abroad then let him say such things. Otherwise it is clear he intends to harm Congress reputation by saying the things he uttered.
    As a responsible FM he should be above creating differences among the public opinion.
    I appreciate the continued efforts made by the BJP Govt. to bring back B\M from abroad.

    The Congress is already aware of names in this list (according to them there are 136 names). Don't understand why others' names are not being disclosed. iveness defeats integrity. We want to know all names (136 already listed and others, if any), who are actually traitors.

    Govt has not yet disclosed names of black money holders stashed money abroad.
    However when the Govt is having list of all names, they should disclose all the names to Court.
    Otherwise it is detrimental to fair and equal justice.
    Shielding some people from persecution is equivalent to encouragement.
    Are remaining allowed by law to stash black money abroad?

    The 3 names most certainly are of Mehta bro's. They are diamond merchants and the prosecution started long back in UPA time. These names were doing rounds in the news papers for some time, along with one staple owner near pune.

    One has to wait and watch, whether BJP is serving already cooked food and taking credit, or there is something new.
