Advani regrets dragging Sonia's family name into black money issue
Sonia had written to Advani after the BJP's task force on black money alleged that she had accounts in foreign banks. She clarified that she did not hold any offshore accounts.
In his letter, Advani said he wished Sonia's clarification had come earlier. "While I wish the clarification had come earlier, I regret your family's name being dragged into this," the letter said.
The BJP has been hammering the UPA government over alleged inaction on black money stashed in Swiss accounts. The government has been pulled up on the issue by the Supreme Court as well.
In his interaction with TV editors on Wednesday, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said that his government was working on treaties with several nations to get information on black money kept abroad.
