Advani Apology, Rajiv 2.5 Billion-Why?

It is alright for Advani for to level charges and apologize at his pleasure.
In that case,
  • Did Advani have facts to level charges Against Sonia Gandhi ?
  • Or did he make an irresponsible allegation?
  • What new evidence has come to light to tender apology?
  • Is it because Sonia declared she has no accounts?
  • Will he share the details with the People of India?
  • Advani is a responsible politician, who was considered to be the PM in waiting.
  • Will he stand up and explain?
  • What is the stand of BJP‘s Task force?
I have blogged on the subject of Rajiv Gandhi‘s 2.5 Billion Francs ,which was based on  the November 1991 issue of Schweizer Illustrierte, the most popular magazine of Switzerland, carried an expose of 14 politicians from developing nations who had stashed their bribes in Swiss banks , Subramanian Swamy‘s s statement , India Today‘s Story  http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/Story/123602/UP%20Front/dacoits+have+looted+india.ht
The story was linked to Schweizer Illustrierte  dated November 1991 and
S Gurumurthy in Indian Express: http://expressbuzz.com/biography/zero-tolerance-secret-billions/236261.html.
Also Ram Jethmalani’s piece in India Today.
On February 2, 2011,Schweizer Illustrierte sent me a comment as follows.
I again checked the link.
The information in German seems to confirm the information on Rajiv Gandhi.
May be I got my translation wrong.
If some one can confirm that the information on Rajiv Gandhi is wrong as per the magazine’s published Record,I hereby tender a Public Apology to Sonia Gandhi,Rajiv Gandhi and Family.
I have a few questions.
Why did the magazine take 10 years to deny?
Why did not Sonia Gandhi keep quiet this long?
What is the stand of India Today, Subramanian Swamy , S.Gurumurthy and the Indian Express?
Also note that the magazine , in its communication, has not denied it out right.
It says ‘as we think you might have cited it wrong’
Typical statement which while not confirming also does not categorically deny it.
If Schweizer Illustrierte’s article is wrong ,has Sonia Gandhi received an apology from them?
Questions, questions every where , not an answer to blink.
Magazines communication to me.

Story.

Senior BJP leader L.K. Advani has apologised to Congress President Sonia Gandhi for a party—appointed task force report, which had alleged that she and her late husband Rajiv had accounts in Swiss banks.

BJP had appointed the task force on unravelling the amount of black money stashed by Indians in foreign banks and ways to bring it back.

The report had alleged that Sonia Gandhi and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi were among Indians who held Swiss bank accounts.

This had led Ms. Gandhi to write a letter to Mr. Advani denying the allegation.

Sources said in the letter, Ms. Gandhi had said that neither she nor her husband held Swiss bank accounts.

In his reply to the Congress President’s letter, Mr. Advani expressed regret of her name and that of her late husband being mentioned in the task force report.

However, Mr. Advani also stated in his reply that the Gandhis should have denied this publicly when there were murmurs that names of her family members could figure in the report.
