GUWAHATI, March 12 - Senior journalist and president of Guwahati Senior Citizens� Association, DN Chakravartty has expressed shock at the lackadaisical attitude of the legal and financial authorities of the country in allowing �new financial monster� Vijay Mallya to stealthily leave Indian shores seeking shelter in Britain.
He voiced surprise that the banks which often refuse a Rs 100-cheque signed by an old customer only for a minor difference in the signature, went out of their way in placating a financial fraud like Mallya.
Mentioning the tragic experiences of young unemployed persons, farmers and small traders who are harassed constantly for non-clearance of dues, Chakravartty questioned how Mallya could manage to escape the notice of the banking authorities while he had been chronically failing to repay his dues.
