No cover-up in disclosing names of those having Swiss bank accounts: Antony

Defence Minister A K Antony on Thursday said there will be no cover-up in disclosing names of people who have Swiss bank accounts. He said the Government is committed to bring back all the money stashed abroad. He was talking to reporters in New Delhi after giving away NCC investiture awards. On the question of Adarsh Housing scam, Mr Antony said, appropriate action will be taken after the CBI completes its probe into the issue.Earlier, the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh said, information with Government on black money cannot be made public due to treaty obligations. His comments came close on the heels of the Supreme Court pulling up the government for witholding information on blackmoney stashed in foreign banks. The apex court yesterday said that it is not just limited to tax evasion but a mind boggling crime amounting to theft and plunder of national wealth having security ramifications.
