Vijay Mallya a double NRI : Congress

New Delhi, Mar 14 (IBNS) Sharpening its attack on the BJP-led NDA Government allegedly for shielding Vijay Mallya, the Congress on Monday alleged that the liquor baron has become a 'Double NRI'.

"Mallya was present in Parliament on March 1, reportedly, he met and spoke to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and entire country knows that he suddenly left the country the very next day," Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala told reporters.

"Mallya was tipped to leave the country despite proceedings initiated by CBI, Banks, ED, SEBI, SFIO, Service Tax and Income Tax," he said.

"It is official now that Mallya, who has run away from India as in 'Fair & Lovely Scheme' of BJPgovernment, has become truly a ' Double NRI' - 'Non-Repaying Indian' and 'Non-Returning Indian'," Surjewala added.

"The 130 crore people of India now understand the meaning of replacing CBI's 'Look Out Notice for Detention' with 'Look Out Notice for Information only', meaning is clear - 'you look, I go out'. Mallya, who is resting in London, is attacking everyone including media with only one thought - 'Give me Loan, Leave me Alone'," he said.

The Congress spokesperson  posed five questions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the claims about 'transparency and accountability' in government.

"How will Modi government confiscate this amount and take action for this patent illegality?" he asked.

The Congress has given a notice in the Rajya Sabha, saying the government was 'framing innocent people while offenders such as the former Kingfisher boss were allowed to leave the country'.
