In addition to the inaction on the part of Government to book the corrupt politicians and top officers, it is also going slow on action against those powerful people who have thousands of crore of black money stashed in the foreign banks. The government is not denying that it has got information about many such cases, but refuses to divulge the names stating that under agreement with the foreign governments, these names could not be disclosed. Nobody is going to believe these fragile pleas. The Supreme Cour itself has criticised the Government in this matter.

Take the case of Hasan Ali Khan, the race horses broker who has stashed lakhs of crore of black money in foreign banks. The Income Tax Department is stated to have issued a notice for more than Rs. 70,000 crore as tax against him. But yet, the Government has neither taken any action against him for tax evasion, putting black money in foreign banks or for the black money itself. He has not been even questioned so far, leave alone arresting him.The Supreme Court has asked rightly ” What the hell is going on?”

The people of the country are echoing the same question, ” What the hell is going on?” Is the government worried that their own people will be exposed if a serious enquiry is conducted and action taken? There is no other reason why they are dilly-dallying in the matter.
