Govt to submit over 600 names of suspected black money holders to SC today RK News New Delhi: The Central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to disclose the list of names of the black money account holders in foreign banks on Wednesday. This comes after the Supreme Court on Tuesday asked Centre to reveal names of all foreign account holders by Wednesday. The court had said that Special Investigation Team (SIT) will investigate black money and not the government. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley issued a statement saying that the government will submit all the names and that the probe should be done without offending countries that are helping India on the matter. The government has no difficulty in placing the entire list and the same will be placed before the court tomorrow. The government has already given the list to the court constituted Special Investigating Team on June 27. We are keen that by whatever procedure in accordance with law we must get to the root of the matter, Jaitley said. Jaitley said that the list will be given to the Supreme Court in a sealed envelope. However, he refrained from commenting whether the government is ready open to make the names public. Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi said that the complete list will be submitted by 10:30 AM to Supreme Court on Wednesday. We had no problem to share the names with the supreme court. SIT functions under the supreme court jurisdiction. We Will face a problem in future treaties if all names are made public, Rohatgi added.
