Bareilly: BJP MP Maneka Gandhi has alleged that half of India's black money stashed in Swiss banks belonged to ministers, leaders and supporters of the Congress party.

The BJP leader, while talking to reporters last night, also alleged that the Congress had kept CBI in its locker and used the agency as and when it required.

She also slammed the Congress party's attitude towards Baba Ramdev and social activist Anna Hazare, calling it "undignified."

"As money of Congress leaders is stashed in Swiss banks, therefore the party wants to curb every voice being raised against it," Maneka alleged.

Terming Anna Hazare's proposed agitation from August 16 as a "struggle for economic freedom," she said that whatever her party decided at the all-party meet on Lokpal bill, likely to be held next month, would be acceptable.

the other half could be of politicians of other parties, businessmen, bollywoodstars, gangsters, industrialists etc. but congress alone, owing half that money...is really huge corruption.
