Funny: Vijay Mallya has all the ‘time now’ to face
‘Financial Times’ in London
Punny: Of course, he neither had ‘time then’ nor the
face for a face-off with ‘garrulous Goswami’
F: Timid questions with an equally timid and deadpan
expression, FT’s interview looked more like a boring debate on an even more
boring topic!
P: Which Mallya answered with a face as straight and
a mind as crooked
F: in the interview, he had the temerity to claim he
had no wrong
P: what if he ‘defaulted’ on remitting taxes
collected to the government
F: It matters little that he ‘wilfully defaulted’ on
paying salaries to his own ‘desi-employees’ leaving them ‘de-spirited’
P: While he was all caution when he ‘wilfully’
settled all the claims of all the overseas employees
F: Mallya claims there is ‘haste’ in process
P: He is right – what if it took 6-7-8 years to be
‘hasty’. Government authorities knew of non-remittance of taxes, PFs years ago.
F:You mean, there was a ‘deliberate deal’ to be slow
to ‘hasten’ the process!
P: Are you suggesting a ‘wilful’ deal to turn a
nelson eye to the ‘great escape’?
F: But bankers have labelled him ‘wilful defaulter’
P: Both are equally guilty – one for ‘wilful deal’,
the other for ‘wilful default’
Even as the media, the public and the bankers
fret-n-fume, rage-n-rant, all we can do for now is to watch him being
interviewed by ‘financial times’ on his ‘financial mess’! What an irony? What a
deal?
