Govt to soon send a letter on blackmoney to Ramdev

New Delhi, Jun 4 (PTI) The Indian government will soon
send a letter to yoga guru Baba Ramdev clarifying to the yoga
guru about its intent to bring a legislation on blackmoney.
Sources said they were preparing a letter in this
regard and will be sent soon.
The government Friday in a written response to the
demands of Ramdev had said that the government has constituted
a committee to suggest measures to strengthen steps taken to
check the menace of black money.
Ramdev, however, wanted a categorical assurance that
government will bring in a law in this regard and not rest
with merely constituting a committee.
HRD Minister Sibal told a press conference that the
setting up of the committee was, in fact, part of the process
to enact a law. He said that since Ramdev raised apprehensions
about it and demanded a written assurance about enacting the
law, the government will write to him in this regard.
Government sources said Ramdev has little room to
extend his agitation since he has promised that once he
receives the written assurance, he will call off the
agitation.
Sources said one of the ministers had told Ramdev that
it was question of the yoga guru's credibility as they had
informed the Prime Minister and Finance Minister about the
commitment given by him to call off the strike.
"We were also under pressure that he should fulfil his
commitment," a senior minister said.
"Government understands that Ramdev has created a
build up and he also needs some space to work out his
arrangements. We will somehow inform him that we have sent the
letter," the minister said.
