March 11, 2016 11:41

The ethics committee of Parliament on Friday will take up the issue of liquor baron Vijay Mallya owing Rs 9,000 crore to a consortium of banks led by the SBI.

Mallya, who is currently a member of the Consultative Committee for the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Standing Committee on Commerce, made it to the House a second time as an 'independent' candidate from Karnataka.

Meanwhile, rubbishing claims that he had absconded from the country, liquor baron Mallya asserted that he is an international businessman, who travels from India frequently, and said that he is not an absconder.
