Launching a blistering attck on PM Modi and FM Arun Jaitley on the escape of economic offender Vijay Mallya to UK, Congress president Rahul Gandhi stated that Jaitley met Malya for 15 minutes in the Parliament but “Jaitley who writes long blogs did not utter a single word about it.”

“He (Jaitley) had not informed ED, CBI. What does it mean? He has to explain why when a criminal has told him he is running away to London, he has done nothing,” said aggressive Gandhi at a press conference in Delhi.

Demanding Jaitley’s resignation on second consecutive day, he further stated, “Finance Minister is responsible to take action against economic offenders. Finance minister himself is meeting them. Finance minister has admitted that Mallya told him he is going to London. Yet the Finance Minister took no action. Did not inform CBI, ED or other arms of the govt. Why? What was the deal? There is a notice to restrain Mr Mallya. That notice is changed from a restrain notice to an inform notice. Who did it? There are only two people – Prime Minister and Finance Minister.”

Earlier on Wednesday Rahul Gandhi had demanded Jaitley’s resignation on Twitter.
