Maneka says Congressmen's stash in Swiss banks

June 20, 2011 11:52

Bharatiya Janata Party member of Parliament Maneka Gandhi, whose late husband Sanjay Gandhi was one of the leading lights of the Congress party till his death in 1980, has alleged that half of India's black money stashed in Swiss banks belonged to ministers, leaders and supporters of the Congress party.

The BJP leader, while talking to reporters last night, also alleged that the Congress had kept the Central Bureau of Investigation in its locker and used the agency as and when it required.

"As the money of Congress leaders is stashed in Swiss banks, therefore the party wants to curb every voice being raised against it," Maneka has alleged.
