Panama Papers :Maharashtra Congress demands Bachchan's ouster as Save Tiger project ambassador
Reports said the state's opposition party also wants the illustrious actor's ouster from the International Finance Service Centre.
"Till Bachchan gets a clean chit in the Panama Papers case, he should be removed as tiger brand ambassador as well as from advisory panel on the development of part of the Bandra Kurla Complex as International Finance and Services Centre," the Leader of Opposition Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil said while raising the issue in Lower House.
"It would be improper if Bachchan continues to occupy the two posts especially when his name has allegedly figured in the Panama Papers," the opposition leader said.
"Bachchan should be removed from the two posts till the inquiry launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this regard is complete," the opposition leader said.
The Papers are a leaked set of 11.5 million confidential documents that provide detailed information about more than 214,000 offshore companies listed by corporate services provider Mossack Fonseca.
