The Parliament Ethics Panel which has just concluded its meeting on liquor baron Vijay Mallya says they want him expelled from parliament. The panel has given Mallya a week to reply and will meet again on May 3.

Mallya is facing legal proceedings for alleged loan defaults by his Kingfisher group to the tune of over Rs 9,000 crore.

As per rules, the Committee oversees the moral and ethical conduct of  members. It examines cases concerning the alleged breach of the Code of Conduct by members as also cases concerning allegations of any other ethical misconduct of members.

Following the request of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) yesterday revoked beleaguered Mallya's passport.

This act of the MEA comes within 10 days of the ministry suspending the industrialist's passport on April 15.
