Mallya targets Modi: 'PM must ensure agencies under him are impartial'

January 01, 2017 10:45

Vijay Mallya, the absconding liquor baron who is facing loan default case of over Rs 9,400 crore, has targeted central agencies probing cases against him while appealing Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure a 'fair' and 'impartial' investigation.

In a series of tweets, the former Rajya Sabha MP, in a veiled attack on PM Modi, said that while the prime minister advocates use of technology, government agencies refuse to take his words seriously.

"In 2017 I would only hope that PM Modi Ji's vision can be correctly fairly legally and impartially executed by his government. Our esteemed PM speaks about use of technology even for farmers. Wonder why enforcement agencies refuse use of technology," Mallya said.

"Will our dynamic forward thinking corruption free PM care to guarantee that criminal agencies under his control are fair, impartial and legal," he added.
