PCC chief Capt Amarinder Singh welcomed the demand of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal to bring back black money stashed in foreign countries and use it for the welfare of the general public. He also asked, “Why not expose the black money that is hidden within the country?”
Replying to a question on Badal's demand during an informal conversation with some reporters here, Capt Amarinder asked, “Why only the black money stashed abroad, why not the black money hidden within the country?” He alleged that Badal and his son were deliberately raking up the issue of black money to divert the attention “from their own wealth”.
The former CM alleged that actually it was the Badals who had to explain their huge wealth accumulated in a short period. “Badal will have to explain the source of over Rs 2,000 crore with which he constructed two seven-star luxury hotels in Gurgaon,” he alleged.
