All the 215 NDA MPs will submit a declaration to Parliament within the next 10 days stating that they have no illegal assets or banks accounts abroad, BJP leader LK Advani announced on Sunday at the end of his marathon 7,600 km 38-day 'public awakening' yatra against corruption.

"Within one week of the start of the Parliament session on November 22, all NDA MPs will give a declaration that they do not possess any bank account or illegal wealth abroad," he said addressing a rally at Ramlila grounds here.

Advani said the declaration would be handed over by Lok Sabha MPs to Speaker Meira Kumar and Rajya Sabha MPs to Chairman  Hamid Ansari.

It will read, "I solemnly declare that I do not have directly or indirectly any bank account or asset illegally held outside India."

84-year-old Advani, who toured 22 states and five Union territories, said even though his journey has ended, the battle against corruption would continue.

Accusing the government of "lack of political will" to fight graft, Advani said the only route to end corruption is through public awakening or a change of government.

Flanked by top BJP and NDA leaders, Advani said, "the fog around India's politics will not go automatically. It will go only by public awakening or by the change of government."

He added, "My Yatra against corruption has ended, but this war will carry on till we conquer corruption."

Among those present were Nitin Gadkari, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley, Rajnath Singh, JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav, Anant Geete of Shiv Sena, Ramdas Athavale of RPI as well as AIADMK supremo Jayalalitha's emissary M Thambidurai.
