Overseas Investors

Don’t be shocked if we tell you that some of the Lok Sabha members haveactually disclosed their investments and assets in foreign countries. Althoughno one has really talked about their Swiss bank accounts or others in tax havencountries, they have mentioned investments in shares of foreign companies andimmovable assets (properties) in the US. One must still say that it’s a goodbeginning to bring in transparency in politics.
