Udupi, October 31: Former Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani, who is on the Jana Chetana Rath Yathra, demanded the Prime Minister to present a white paper on the attempts made to bring back black money deposited in Swiss bank.

Addressing a rally organised near Srikrishna Temple Lalkrishna Advani said that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during the last elections had promised to take stern steps to bring back the money stashed in foreign banks within 100 days of coming back to power. “The UPA – 2 has been in power since over 700 days and we want to know what efforts have been made by the government to bring back black money and what results those efforts have yielded'', he said.

Countries like America, Germany and France have already been successful in bringing back the black money stashed by their countrymen in Switz banks, by pressurizing Switz government, through the Security Council of United Nations. But India did not, he said adding that if the black money, over Rs 25,00,000 crores, stashed in tax heavens abroad by the Indians were brought back and used for the development of rural India, there will not be any village with poor roads, without electricity, without schools.

On the occasion Advani also released a book containing photographs of Lalkrishna Advani, explaining his life history.

DV Sadananda Gowda, Eshwarappa, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Ananth Kumar, Dr VS Acharya, Raghupathi Bhat, Lalaji R Mendon, Sunil Kumar and others were present.
