Jul 9 (ANI): A day after former liquor baron Vijay Mallya made a rare public appearance in England at an F1 race, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday reiterated that they will bring back the embattled business tycoon back to the nation at the earliest and proceedings will be made against him as per law.

Speaking to reporters, BJP leader Srikant Sharma, however, trained guns at the Congress, saying, “Vijay Mallya is the paap (evil) of Congress. The Congress had asked the banks to provide him with loans even after their refusal.”

“The law of this country is very strong and our government is making every effort to bring him back to the country and punish him as per law,” he added.

BJP MP Kirit Somaiya on his part also assured that Mallya, who has been declared a proclaimed offender by a Mumbai court in a money laundering case, will be brought back by the Indian Government and proper criminal action would be initiated against him.

“I am very much sure that he will be brought back to the country and proper criminal action would be initiated against him,” Somaiya told reporters.

The UB Group chairman was yesterday spotted in a rare public appearance in England on the Formula 1 racing track.

Mallya, who co-owns Sahara Force India, at Silverstone in Northamptonshire, reportedly said that ‘life must go on.’

“I love racing, I’m a petrolhead, and I’m passionate about it, that’s why I bought this team in the first place. Monaco I missed terribly, I missed the bonus of the podium in Monaco, I missed Baku, which I believe is fantastic. To that extent I’d be lying if I said I missed nothing,” he reportedly told a website.
