Bullion trader Pankaj Chimanlal Lodhiya says he has declared all assets
The Centre today revealed in Supreme Court the names of three persons - Pradip Burman of the Dabur India Group, Goa-based miner Radha Timblo and Rajkot-based bullion trader Pankaj Chimanlal Lodhiya - who allegedly have foreign accounts that are being investigated in connection with untaxed or black money.
I do not have any Swiss account. I have declared all assets and I have not been served any notice.
Pankaj Chimanlal Lodhiya, Bullion trader
We wish to state that this account was opened when he was an NRI, and was legally allowed to open this account. We have followed all the laws and the complete details regarding the account have been voluntarily, and as per law, filed with the Income Tax Department, and appropriate taxes paid, wherever applicable.
Dabur Statement on Pradip Burman
Why have you not prosecuted everyone whose names were available to you? Don't be selective because it sends a wrong message. If they've committed crimes, no matter to which political party they belong, everything is irrelevant.
Majeed Memon, NCP leader
We will take action against offenders. They will reply individually if they are indeed involved.
Digvijaya Singh, Congress leader
Brazen double standards by the present government. They've failed to deliver inspite of the electoral promises, an SIT. I can tell you for a fact that this government is only into posturing.
Sanjay Jha, Congress Spokesperson
It is not possible to take money from India and deposit it in foreign banks without the government's help. This needs to be investigated.
Venkaiah Naidu, BJP leader
