New Delhi January 27:

Senior BJP leader L K Advani hit out at the government for not disclosing the names of Indians holding bank accounts in tax havens abroad and accused it of not making efforts to even get these details from countries willing to share them.

"Government gave a detailed statement yesterday and maintained that it does not want to hide anything but then it should also be said that it does not wish to reveal anything," he told reporters after hoisting the national flag at his residence.

Advani was referring to Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee's statement yesterday where he said a study group would be formed to look into the issue of bringing back Indian black money abroad. "Why is the government not revealing the names of these account holders to the Supreme Court," he asked.
