The ‘Make In India’ campaign of the Union government was bound to fail as the deteriorating law and order situation in the country would deter foreign investors, said eminent lawyer Prasanth Bhushan.
Interacting with mediapersons here on Sunday, Mr. Bhushan voiced fears that the law and order situation in the country would worsen further in the coming months as the government had not acted against fascist tendencies. No investor would invest in the country in its given situation. The Modi government can bid goodbye to its campaign, he said.
Mr. Bhushan said the Centre was encouraging money laundering in the name of bringing black money back to the country.
The government was allowing black money to be parked in tax havens. The government had not taken any action against account holders who had parked black money in tax havens abroad, said Mr. Bhushan.
Lack of transparency
On the performance of the Aam Aadmi Party government in New Delhi, Mr. Bhushan said it lacked accountability. Corruption had also crept in. Though the government did some good things, including the raise in public health expenditure, it lacked transparency, he said.
