Bring back Indian black money from Swiss banks

Bring back Indian black money from Swiss banks and other tax havens!

71 lakh crores of Indian black money has been illegally stashed away in Swiss Banks by the corrupt politicians and businessman from India. This money belongs to India. Indian leaders and top businessman have been been exploiting hard working Indian citizens and looting the incredible wealth and illegally stashing away in tax havens, primarily Swiss banks. This is more than The GDP of India. This money (1.4 trillion dollars) can be utilized to provide education, decent heath care and excellent infrastructure (roads, electricity and dams etc...)

I am pleading to all the responsible citizens of India to consider taking the following actions to claim this black money which really belongs to every Indian!

Swiss black money can take India to the top

Indians have to take control and bring the black money back into the country!

Demand and make politicians accountable to get the money back: This election time is the time to do it. Force all the major political parties to come with action plan, not just promises. Don't just trust these politicians! They will not easily part with their corrupt, ill gotten wealth. Congress, BJP, Communists or any other party, what have they done so far? Nothing to stop this! It's they who have these accounts in these banks! The people have to force them during this election time!
All the educated citizens have to raise their voice to let these politicians that corruption and black money is not acceptable anymore!

Take action through legal channels to claim the black money!
Read in the press that Mr. Ram Jethmalani filed a petition in Supreme Court to force the government to take legal action. The American government and several western governments have already taken legal actions to claim the illegal money stashed in Swiss banks by their citizens. Indian govt should also do the same.
Action: Express support to this petition ( not asking to support individual Mr. Ram Jethmelani)
Send letters, emails to Supreme court [email IDs to be posted soon]
India's SC To Examine Plea On Black Money

Express outrage on the practices of these banks that rely on illegal money
It is a shame that in this century some countries' banking systems are relying on the ill gotten and corrupt wealth from other countries and reaping profits. People across India should strongly oppose shameless practices of these banks and their cover of secrecy laws!
Action: Write or send emails to executives of the top Swiss banks and banks in other tax havens
