Indian Govt and BJP shouting is empty promise Only USA OR uk oecd COUNTRIES can exert real pressure on Switzerland and ask them to return money to India
I doubt BJP will really deliver if it has ,it should have when NDA was in power
I think for BJP it will help in elections
Only people like Narayana Murthy ,etc outside of Indian politics and NRI indians can lobby Obama ,david cameron in white house ,10 downing street and convince them to help out
If Obama ,david cameron will start acting and exert pressure ,the SWISS will disclose the info
All these treaties is just an eye wash to cover up the names and shield the Guilty
As most Congress Ministers and may be even some BJP ministers - ex congress will have Swiss Accounts for sure
So unless people of india wake up launch a big campaign and out in streets so that NRIS ACT for indians nothing will happen at all
honest indians have bank accounts in swiss bank, they will be looked at with suspicion! Thats the way indian media works, and what politicians have done.
All governments, Including Indian and the US, consider Swiss banks are heavens for ill-gotten money. But not the REDIFF... Who in Rediff got money to publish such and article?
