In the wake of Supreme Court questioning the Government's reluctance to disclose names of Indians who allegedly stashed black money in foreign banks, The Bharatiya Janata Party charged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh with breach of parliamentary propriety by not keeping his promise made in Rajya Sabha to get back the money.
