Gandhi Family has Black Money in Swiss Banks: Jethmalani


New Delhi, Feb 21 (IANS) Veteran lawyer and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ram Jethmalani Monday said that he believed that the Gandhi family has black money stashed in Swiss bank accounts.

"I believe that the Gandhi family has money stashed in Swiss banks," Jethmalani told reporters outside parliament.

"Swiss magazines have written, even Kent books have written...Rahul Gandhi has been getting money from Swiss Bank. A whole advertisement appeared in the New York Times where this allegation was repeated," he said.

A task force appointed by the BJP on the black money issue recently alleged that Sonia Gandhi and her husband, former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, were among the Indians who held Swiss bank accounts abroad.

Senior party leader L.K. Advani later wrote to Sonia Gandhi and regretted the mention of their names in the booklet.

Jethmalani, however, said the letter was in no way an apology.

"He (Advani) did not apologise, only said that for so many years you (Sonia Gandhi) did not give a denial and now you have given one," he said.

    Mr. Jethmalani is almost 90, and people shouldnt be taking him seriously, especially his public life, hes the Bal Thakeray of the BJP, will do anything for publicity. This old man was the atorney for Manu Sharma killer of Jessica Lal, where he claimed in the court the Jessica was a woman of loose charcter(after her death). Mr. Jethmalani was the defence lawyer for Harshad Mehta, Ketan Parekh, Afzal Guru and defended Mr. Advani in the Hawala Case. If Mr. Rahul Gandhi or Mrs. Sonia Gandhi or anyone poosees ill wealth, please bring it to the right domain ie. court of the country, rather than accussing and counter accusing thru media.

    This OLD GOOSE is a big CULPRIT and CHOR. For MONEY these Lawyer's will make anyone CHOR and anyone INNOCENT. Jethmalini is speaking as he is a SAINT and does not have BLACK MONEY and as BJP Leaders have no BLACK MONEY. First he should check BJP Leaders. God knows how much LAND & MONEY YEDDY gave JETHMALINI to pass this STATEMENT. YEDDY wants to cover up his SCAM so he is talking about SONIA and her family. How Jethmalini knows Gandhi family has Money in SWISS Bank Accounts ? Jethmalini himself may be having Black Money in Swiss Banks. Who will check this ?

    Keep your beliefs for yourself. If you have proof just provide it. Have you recommended task force to probe Yeddi? You have enough corruption at your doorsteps. Sweep it first.
