In 2007 fellow called Hassan Ali was charged with money laundering. He had apparently transferred $ 8 billion or Rs. 400 billion to an account in Switzerland. Now a spokesman for the Swiss government, Folco Galli has said, in an interview to a private tv channel, that the documents submitted by India regarding the case were forged. He also said that India is dragging its heels in asking the Swiss about details of black money stashed away in Swiss banks. This is only a small news item at the bottom of the front page. There is no sense of outrage at this news report, no editorial denouncing the last government and no campaign to nail the minister and civil servants responsible. After all the freeloading press is hardly likely to embarass the Congress during the elections. At the top of the front page in large letters is the treatment of passengers by Air France at a Paris airport. Appears that a plane was called back after developing technical problems and whereas the whites were taken to a nearby hotel the Indians were corralled in a small room without food and water for the night. When a government, which is solely responsible for law and order, submits forged papers to another country in a massive laundering case then all the people become tainted. Every European who reads this humiliating incident in the papers is likely to develop a deep scorn for India and its people. No point in blaming Air France for being racist. They are just showing what they think about all of us. The only remedy is to hang those responsible by their privates. With the present trash, very unlikely.
