The SIT will be headed by former Supreme Court judge M B Shah and will include Revenue Secretary, CBI and IB directors, Enforcement Directorate official, CBDT Chairman and RBI deputy governor.
Former Supreme Court judge Arijit Pasayat will be the vice-chairman of the panel. The Supreme Court had last week granted the government one week to constitute the SIT for monitoring of all black money cases.
“In the first Cabinet of the new government…in the light of the directions of the SC, we have constituted an SIT for unearthing black money… This was an important issue for us,” Law and Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters after a one-and-a-half-hour long Cabinet meeting.
Prasad said setting up of the SIT “indicates the commitment of the new government to pursue the issue of black money.” He said that earlier, the Supreme Court had given certain orders, but there were some delays. “Tomorrow is the last date (for setting up of SIT), therefore the very first agenda in accordance with its policy commitment was to have this very high-profile SIT.”
According to a press release, other members of the SIT are Director General of the Narcotics Control Bureau, Director General of Revenue Intelligence, Director of the Financial Intelligence Unit, Director of the Research and Analysis Wing and a Joint Secretary in the Central Board of Direct Taxes.
It stated that the SIT has been charged with the responsibility and duties of investigation, initiation of proceedings and prosecution in cases of Hasan Ali and other matters involving unaccounted money.
The panel will have jurisdiction in cases where investigations have commenced, are pending, are awaiting to be initiated or have been completed.
The SIT will prepare a comprehensive action plan, including creation of an institutional structure that could enable the country to fight the battle against unaccounted money. It should report on the status of its work to the court from time to time, the statement added.
Respected all,
We Nepalese people extend thanks the new rising strong nationalist PM Narendra Modi who has decided in the first decision constituted a special investigative team (SIT) to unearth black money.We hope, BJP Govt. will propose in Nepal as a Hindu kingdom with constitutional monarchy. Hindu Kingdom and monarchy are the co-related issue of Nepal. But the present Govt of Congress and UML never support the constitutional monarchy and Hindu Kingdom because they have guided by EU, CIA and the notorious RAW’s of Sonia Govt.
Yes! I request from Nepal, Modi Govt. first of all should start the corruptions of Sonia and her family and her broker Manamohan’s govt. 22 February 2011, UPA Chairperson and the President of All India Congress Committee “Sonia Gandhi” has around $9.41 billion (Rs 42,345 crore) to $18.66 billion (Rs 83,900 crore)in Swiss Bank accounts, according to the article on Wikipedia.
According to the article, Swiss magazine Schweizer Illustrierte on 11 November 1991 revealed that Sonia Gandhi was controlling secret Swiss Bank accounts worth $2.2 billion (Rs 10,000 Crore). If these are reports are true then India is in bigger trouble, you might have ever imagined. There are so many Indian politicians who are supposing to have bank accounts in Swiss Bank. Even if 20% of them are having bank accounts, still there would be billions of dollars of India rotting in Swiss Bank. Mr.Sri Venkat exposed, 7 May-2011
The latest entry of Sonia Gandhi has completely removed the mentioning of accounts worth $2 billion dollars in Swiss banks. I wonder what can be done about this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
On 11-August-2010 Dr. Subramanian Swamy (Dr. Swamy is a Harvard-educated economist and lawyer who has been instrumental in exposing the 2G spectrum scandal ($40 billion corruption scandal) involving Congress party and DMK leaders for the past two years. His accusations has been borne out by facts now that the scandal has come out into the open), Dr Swamy the President of Janata Party said-‘the Anti-Hindu Mafia of Mass Media—Both Print And Electronic—in India are functioning as the whole-time agents of only Sonia Gandhi and her Congress Party. They only have contempt for the common millions of India. Sonia Gandhi, has been monitoring this tottering Press everyday, every minute through her ill-gotten wealth and money power.’
Out Look India-online writes- ‘Gandhi dynasty will never punish Hasan Ali or put him behind bars permanently because putting him in jail could cost Congress party Muslim votes in the upcoming state elections in Assam, Bengla and Kerala. If he had been Hindu tax evader and gun-runner you bet he would be in jail already. Hasan Ali helped Antonia Maino (Sonia Gandhi) park her looted billions in Swiss banks, since he had ample experience doing that himself. Pranab Mukherjee is the go-to guy between him and Sonia. Despite ample evidence of criminal wrong doing against him, the CBI and ED intentionally created a weak case against him to let him off the hook just in time for state elections. Hasan Ali has been operating free since 2004 when Congress came to power.’ >www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?270854 < According to the respected Swiss magazine, Schweitzer Illustrate [November 1991 issue], Rajiv Gandhi had about $ 2 billion in numbered Swiss bank accounts, which Sonia inherited upon his assassination. Dr.Yevgenia Albats, Ph.D [Harvard], is a noted Russian scholar and journalist, and was a member of the KGB Commission set up by President Yeltsin in August 1991. She was privy to the Soviet intelligence files that documented these deals and KGB facilitation of the same. In her book- 'The State within a State'. The KGB in Soviet Union, she even gives the file numbers of such intelligence files, which can now be accessed by any Indian government through a formal request to the Kremlin.
India is a predominantly Hindu nation. 83% of the Indian population is Hindu. But it is a matter of great regret that India is the only country in the world where the Hindu majority population is being ruled by the other 17% minority communities. Sonia Gandhi, the President of the ruling Congress Party is a practicing Catholic Christian. Her son Rahul Gandhi who is being groomed as the next Prime Minister of India is also a Christian. Sonia's daughter Priyanka Vadera and her husband are also Christians. India's Defense Minister is A. K. Anthony, a
Christian. Sonia's closest advisors are: Margaret Alva (resigned yesterday), Oscar
Fernandez, Ambika Soni, all Christians (yes, despite Ambika's Hindu sounding
name, she is a Christian).

Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) chief Ashok Singhal said: “Sonia Gandhi wants to destroy Indian religion, culture and traditions. We are opposing this, since we will not let this happen. She realizes that our strength is growing, and she is scared of our power. That is why she is opposing us. We are not in any way connected to extremism. Neither the VHP, nor the saints and RSS are involved in any way to militancy.” Then, first of all, Sonia and her partners must be trailed keeping in jail.
Thank you
All the best
