Hemang Palan laments that Britain has refused to deport Malya to India and has done so many times. But, why should Britain dance to the tune of India? Neighboring nations are harboring proven criminals and terrorists with impunity. One neighbor used veto to oppose plea by India.
Mr.Malya has committed crime in India, which has no impact on British legal, criminal and economic aspects. He has no criminal record in Britain. Once allowed in UK, he is not bound to hold a valid passport of any country. Thus he cannot be legally deported.
Actually, unprofessional banks must be chastised for dishing out millions of rupees without any checkup and solid collateral. Also Mr. Malya cannot be blamed for environment that proved to be toxic to his Kingfisher Airline. Rising cost of aviation fuel against which he was helpless, was crippling. It may also be surmised that his Kingfisher Airline might have been strangulated by denying lucrative destinations and routes. Such fate befell on two famous airlines which began to suffer crippling losses but revived when lucrative routes were restored to them.
Britain is aware of machinations by anti Malya elements to succumb to request by India to deport him.
