Black money: BJP to step up pressure on Govt

New Delhi: It is being marked as International Anti-Corruption Day around the world on Friday, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is taking advantage of the occasion to step up pressure on the government to act on black money.

In fact, BJP MPs will be submitting declarations to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha and the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha in this regard.

The declarations state that they do not have any unaccounted money stashed away in secret accounts and tax havens overseas.

However, while many may be outraged at the government, the global community has ranked India amongst the top three nations of the world in the campaign to tackle tax evasion.
