21 November,Kotshamir
AAP National Convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Monday made the Swiss Bank accounts of PPCC Chief Capt Amarinder Singh and his family public, saying that the entire family stashed huge ill-gotten money during the tenure of Capt Amarinder Singh as Chief Minister of Punjab from 2002 to 2007 in these bank accounts.
Addressing the gathering on the second day of his 11-day tour, Mr Kejriwal revealed the bank accounts detail of Parneet Kaur, former union minister and her son Raninder Singh, who had opened bank accounts in Swiss bank in 2005, when Capt Singh was Chief Minister of Punjab.
He also read out the account numbers of Raninder Singh and Parneet Kaur as well as joint account, where the family has been parking their ill-gotten money.
Unveiling detail of the bank accounts of Capt Singh’s family, Mr Kejriwal said his wife Praneet Kaur, opened an account in Swiss Bank on July 26, 2005 and her account number is 509018445.
His son Raninder Singh also opened his account in the Swiss bank on the same day and his account number is 5090184484, the AAP supremo said while also revealing that besides these accounts, they had also formed a trust to transfer their ill-gotten money and Swiss Bank’s account number of their trust is 5090284483.
Mr Kejriwal challenged Capt Singh that whatever he has revealed, if any information was found wrong, Capt Singh was free to file a defamation case against him and send him to jail.
Making a scathing attack on the PPCC chief, he said Captain Singh before coming to power in 2002, had gone bankrupt and did not have enough money even to get his Moti Mahal whitewashed. Within three years after coming to power, he (Captain) and his family opened accounts in the Swiss bank, where the family member used to transfer huge sum of money every month, he alleged.
Mr Kejriwal challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi that if he had will and guts, bring out the black money stashed in these foreign bank accounts by Capt Singh and his family. “Instead of going after the poor people and the common man, the PM should go after people like Capt Singh to bring back the black money stashed in foreign accounts”, he said.
