Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said in a statement that as the 2023 G20 Summit begins in Delhi, it is worth recalling PM Modi's many exhortations at previous meetings of the grouping for the international community to crack down on corruption and money-laundering.
At the 2014 Brisbane G20 meeting, the Prime Minister called for global cooperation "to eliminate safe havens for economic offenders", to "track down and unconditionally extradite money-launderers" and to "break down the web of complex international regulations and excessive banking secrecy that hide the corrupt and their deeds", the Congress leader said.
“At the 2018 Buenos Aires G20 summit, PM Modi presented a nine-point agenda “for action against fugitive economic offences and asset recovery,” Mr. Ramesh said.
“The PM’s brazenness would be laughable if his complicity in high-level corruption and economic offences were not so serious.”
