Vijay Mallya's Presence At UK Event Not Envoy's Fault: Sushma Swaraj | Read

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj today said business tycoon Vijay Mallya -- who has been declared a proclaimed offender in India over unpaid loans worth $1 billion -- was not invited to last week's book launch event in London partly organised by the Indian high commission. "If Suhel Seth invites personally we are not aware of it," the minister said, adding, "The Indian High Commission did not invite him. The LSE (the organisers, London School of Economics) wrote to us saying they didn't invite."
