DIRTY MONEY


As always is the case with serious issues of national importance,one relating to Indian money in Swiss banks  has been forgotten,slipped under the carpet by the guilty and perhaps,by the media.What one gets  to hear of the issue is that Govt has signed an agreement with Swiss authorities by which they will not divulge details of the accounts held  or operated prior to year 2011.
How very convenient?
Different countries react differently to a given situation.It is all about national commitment. Isn't it?
Countries such as the US and Somalia have been able to get details of their dirty money in Swiss banks, among so many other countries.
As per news report of...Associated Press Nov 2012....(CLICK HERE TO READ).
Opposition parties in Germany’s upper house of Parliament on Friday blocked a new agreement with Switzerland aimed at ending a long running dispute over German tax cheats who hide their money in Swiss banks.
German authorities were also to be given more powers to seek information on German nationals’ accounts in Switzerland.
France, whose tax treaty with Swiss dates back to 1952, is also renegotiating an accord to catch tax evaders. The country’s socialist Government has promised to tax the ultra wealthy at a rate of 75 percent on earnings above $1.29 million and sees its Alpine neighbor as a heaven for citizens trying to avoid paying their share.
While, some countries are taking positive steps.........As per a report of the Asian Development Bank (unconfirmed).......Vietnam has amended its laws so as to enable dirty money to be parked in Vietnam. Hence, there are reasons enough for such money shifting from Swiss to Vietnam.
And here, we, in India are once again shying away from facing the truth of corruption, bankruptcy of honesty  in  dealing with to national security national security and lack of political will.

DESH UBAL RAHA HAI.
PAPPU JAAG GAYA HAI.


let us CHANGE INDIA for INDIA OF TOMORROW

In our country the leaders / politicians themselves have so much of this dirty money so why would they want the reforms to come into force!

So governments are not completely helpless regarding bringing back money kept in Swiss accounts.

Then wy doesn't the Indian government do something about the black money of Indians stashed away in Swiss accounts?
