BLACK MONEY • Do you have confidence in this government that it would pursue the issue honestly? • A hundred percent. This is going to be a very important agenda for Modi. He has made his intention clear to me many times before and after coming to power. • Modi may want to pursue it, but what about the others? • There is no one in the government who can think otherwise if the most powerful person, the PM, wants action to recover black money. In my view, Modi is the person who will do it. Others will fall in line, even if they genuinely doubt whether there is so much money. • Finance Minister Arun Jaitley hinted that the name of a certain UPA minister is there. Is the issue only about UPA ministers and the Congress party? Is it not much bigger and deeper than that? • He was talking about the 600 names in the HSBC list; he was not talking about the entire gamut of black money. He was actually answering the Congress which was taunting the NDA government for not acting on black money. It was a political statement and that was needed because the Congress was trying to take advantage of the secrecy. That is why Jaitley said, be careful, you are likely to be embarrassed. Do you think the Modi government will pursue the matter as seriously if there are names of politicians from the BJP? • As yet, there is not even a suspicion of anybody from the BJP in it. So this is a hypothetical question. Even if somebody from the NDA is involved, public opinion and judicial opinion will force the disclosure. L. K. AdvaniThe media must pursue it relentlessly. The problem is that some powerful sections of the media in India are also corrupt. If public opinion is generated, it will have its effect. In spite of most media underplaying the black money issue and toeing the Congress, it has become an issue because it was made into an election issue by Advani. The credit for making it a huge public issue must go to Advani. I am confident that the government will pursue the matter seriously. If not, people like us will not keep quiet. It is not to see the issue goes unattended that I have spent 30 years of my life on this. There are many people like me within and outside the system. bharatabharati.wordpress/2014/10/30/modi-will-recover-black-money-from-abroad-says-gurumurthy-shobha-warrier/ - Shared by Neena Verma
