With regard to commonwealth countries, if the government of India come into an arrangement with any commonwealth country and such an arrangement is notified and chapter is notified as being applicable to that country, then the procedure prescribed in chapter will apply to such a commonwealth country. That means there is no automatic application of this act with regard to any foreign country or with regard to any commonwealth country. There must be a prior notification applying, in either case, chapter or other chapters in case. The whole question boiled down to certain fundamental principles which we have followed. First of all, we have defined in the second schedule "Extradition" and "Offences". That means no treaty between the government of India and any foreign country or any commonwealth country can include any offence which is not within the second schedule but it can enter into a treat with regard to some of these offences, either all or some of them. The second principle that we have followed is that there must be a proper safeguard in the matter of extraditing criminals from this country who are sought to be extradited by their parent states on charge of criminal offences. Sir, I would like to say that even in the Budget it was very clear that the Government is not ready to tax the rich who benefited wonderfully because of the schemes of the Government in the last few years. Rich is becoming richer. There are four Indians in the top ten richest persons in the world. But there are more than 30 crores of people below the poverty line. What is it we are doing about this? Deficit Budget is going to bring more inflation. Mr. Chairperson, I would like to remind one thing that most of us, the Members of Parliament Ruling Party and the Opposition, I am sure might have received several letters about the so-called Indians deposit in the Swiss banks. It is supposed to be Rs. 1,450 billion.
