Congress will not be embarrassed if big names appear on black money list

New Delhi, Oct 24 (IBNS): Former Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Friday said that the Congress, as a political party, would not confront any embarrassment if any big name from the formation appears on the list of Indians who hold illicit foreign bank accounts.

“Whatever name is there will embarrass the individual, the party won’t be. These are individual transgressions,” Chidambaram told in an exclusive interview to NDTV.

Asked about the names on the list, he said: “I did not ask to see nor was I shown the names. So whose name is there I don't know.”

The ex-FM said that the purpose of current Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s comment was to move from “black money to black mail”. He said, “Just release the name”.
