The government’s inaction in unearthing black money was again pointed out by the Supreme Court. Despite knowing well that people like Hasan Ali, who have huge black money stashed in foreign banks are not yet brought to book, the Supreme Court on 18th March suggested to the Government about setting up of a Special investigation Team (SIT) for the same including Enforcement Directorate, CBI and Income Tax Department. The Government is yet to reply to the suggestion.

All these developments naturally point to a very unhappy situation, that the Central Government is not interested in unearthing black money or catching up those who are the culprits. The image of the government is already tarnished with so many scams, including the latest cash-for-votes scam and the continued adverse remarks by the Supreme Court.
