Sushma shouldn't be pestered because she is a woman: Lalu


"Sushma Swaraj is a woman. She should not be pestered over the issue. Political parties should not pester her more," Prasad said when asked to comment on the issue.

The RJD chief was speaking to media persons after chairing a meeting of party leaders and workers to chalk out a strategy for the upcoming Bihar Assembly polls.

The External Affairs Minister is at the centre of a major row over helping Lalit Modi to obtain British travel documents but found strong support from the government and BJP which rejected opposition demands for her resignation over alleged "impropriety".

Blackmoney Bill to come up in Parliament next week; Centre initiates prosecution against offenders

In a stern warning to offenders, he said it would not be possible for anyone to hide unaccounted wealth as the international community is planning to put in place a mechanism for automatic exchange of information by 2017.

"Next week, I intend to take up before Parliament the law with regard to taxation of undisclosed assets and incomes abroad," Jaitley said at the 'Enforcement Day' function organised by the Directorate of Enforcement.

There will also be a window to help persons having such funds abroad to come clean by paying tax and penalty.

Jaitley said the government has been taken steps to unearth black money stashed abroad.   

"There are large number of cases...prosecutions against those offenders have been filed in last few months. The assessment of hundreds of those cases have been completed. 121 prosecutions have been filed by tax Department against them," he said.

With the international community including G-20 leaders taking various initiatives, it would become difficult for people to hide wealth within couple of years, he added.

Black money Bill to be taken up in Parliament next week: Finance Minister

In a stern warning to offenders, he said it would not be possible for anyone to hide unaccounted wealth as the international community is planning to put in place a mechanism for automatic exchange of information by 2017.

"Next week, I intend to take up before Parliament the law with regard to taxation of undisclosed assets and incomes abroad," Jaitley said at the 'Enforcement Day' function organised by the Directorate of Enforcement.

The government in March introduced 'The Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets (Imposition of Tax) Bill, 2015' which provides for heavy penalty and stiff punishment of up to 10 years for stashing unaccounted funds abroad.

There will also be a window to help persons having such funds abroad to come clean by paying tax and penalty.

Jaitley said the government has been taken steps to unearth black money stashed abroad.   

"There are large number of cases...prosecutions against those offenders have been filed in last few months. The assessment of hundreds of those cases have been completed. 121 prosecutions have been filed by tax Department against them," he said.
