PM Narendra Modi and his government are being criticized from all the corners for not bringing the black money back from the foreign countries as they promised during their election campaign. Now the noted Supreme Court Lawyer and member of Rajya Sabha Ram Jethmalani have taken guard against PM Modi and Arun Jaitley. Ram Jethmalani slammed the Modi government and UPA government too, for not doing enough to bring black money back and blamed Arun Jaitley and P Chidambaram for not revealing the names of persons who are having black money deposited in foreign countries.
On Sunday, Ram Jethmalani was in Patna where he was supporting army personnel on the matter of OROP (One Rank One Pension). Ram Jethmalani called himself the “victim of fraud” as he said, “Today I have come here to do ‘penance’ for what I did by promoting Narendra Modi as the leader of the country (before the Lok Sabha polls). I thought that God has sent him as his ‘Aulia’ (representative) for India’s salvation…How I became the victim of fraud.”
He further added, “Both P Chidambaram and Arun Jaitley should be first arrested and prosecuted if we really want to bring back black money. Jaitley…took recourse under the garb of Double Avoidance Tax Treaty (DATT).”
He also told that the government of Germany was ready to share the names of 1400 people, that they have, who have kept their black money in foreign countries, with the Indian government on just one condition that Indian government should give a written request for it. The senior lawyer of SC said, “I wrote a two-line letter to BJP leaders and none of them signed the letter,” he also told that as per BJP task force committee, a total sum of $1500 billion is deposited abroad, which is around Rs. 90 lakh crore in Indian currency.
He claimed that not even a single dollar of black money has been brought back by the Indian government, if the government would have brought the black money than they would not have been facing monetary problems in implementing OROP.
Ram Jethmalani asked the public to defeat Modi in Bihar as he said, “Bihar should be the starting point…Defeat them…They have made Ram Jethmalani fool but the people will not be fooled in Bihar.”
