The Centre will announce more names when the prosecution in the case begins. Noted lawyer Ram Jethmalani has filed a petition in the top court on black money, after which a special committee was formed to look in the matter.
The Narendra Modi-led government had said that it could not reveal names received from other countries, as it would be a violation of tax treaties with them.
Meanwhile, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had recently dropped “hints” that a minister in the previous UPA government may be one of those who had stashed money abroad.
“I know who you are hinting at. But please wait for the appropriate time,” Mr Jaitley told a news channel.
Asked if he was not denying that there could be a minister from the UPA government, Mr Jaitley quipped, “I am neither confirming nor denying, I am only smiling.”
He said that in case charges are “approved against some politician and that politician, he or she happens to be member of a political party, the names will be made public.”
Congress, however, retaliated saying that BJP failed to deliver on its promise of brining back black money in 100 days of being in power.
