'A Punching Bag?': Harsh Goenka's 'Justice' Post Gets Vijay Mallya's Thumbs-Up
Last Updated: Goenka questioned why Mallya was still a "punching bag" despite his loan recovery and said justice must be fair. Mallya is accused of defaulting on loans worth Rs 9,000 crore. Business tycoon Harsh Goenka's recent social media post, where he questioned why fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya continues to be a 'political punching bag" despite the recovery of his loans, has reignited the debate surrounding one of India's most high-profile financial scandals. The RPG Enterprises Chairman acknowledged that Mallya had 'lived the high life" and defaulted on his loans, but stressed that his dues worth over Rs 9,000 crore had been settled. He emphasised that justice must be fair and not selective. 'Vijay Mallya lived the high life, yes. Defaulted, yes. Unlike most others, his ₹9,000+ crore dues are now reportedly settled. Meanwhile, bigger defaulters walk free with much fatter haircuts from banks. If dues remain, the banks should clearly say so. If not, why is he still a political punching bag? Justice must be fair, not selective," Goenka said on X. Vijay Mallya lived the high life, yes. Defaulted, yes. Unlike most others, his ₹9,000+ crore dues are now reportedly settled.

The Union Finance Ministry has confirmed in writing that Banks have recovered Rs 14,100 crores from me against a DRT judgement debt of Rs 6,203 crores. Why the blatant discrimination?" Thank you Harsh. The Union Finance Ministry has confirmed in writing that Banks have recovered Rs 14,100 crores from me against a DRT judgement debt of Rs 6,203 crores. Why the blatant discrimination ?— Vijay Mallya (@TheVijayMallya) June 5, 2025 'Vijay Mallya didn't repay out of goodwill. His assets were seized and auctioned after years of dodging Indian courts and living lavishly in the UK," another user said. Others agreed with Goenka's statement, saying Mallya had been unfairly targeted. Mallya is an accused in a bank loan default case of over Rs 9,000 crore from an SBI-led consortium, involving his defunct Kingfisher Airlines. He was accused of fraud and money laundering and fled the country in 2016. He has since lived in the UK while fighting his extradition to India. Last year, the Enforcement Directorate said it had recovered Rs 22,280 crores from various banking scams, from the high-profile names like Mehul Choksi, Nirav Modi and Vijay Mallya and some fraudulent companies. In February, Mallya told the Karnataka High Court that the Rs 6,200 crore debt he owes to banks has been recovered 'multiple times over". 'According to an admitted statement, as of today, the recovery officer confirms that Rs 10,200 crore has been recovered. Additionally, the official liquidator states that the banks have regained their dues, and even the Finance Minister informed Parliament that Rs 14,000 crore has been recovered," he said at that time. The 69-year-old businessman was declared bankrupt in July 2021. He remains on bail in the UK while a 'confidential" legal matter believed to be related to an asylum application is resolved in connection with the unrelated extradition proceedings. A consortium of banks, led by SBI, won their court appeal in London to uphold a bankruptcy order against him in April.

'Women Wearing Less Are Like Politicians Who...': Kailash Vijayvargiya Draws Bizarre Comparison
Last Updated: The MP Minister compared women wearing less clothes with politicians giving fewer speeches and called both of them 'lack of substance'. Senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Cabinet Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya erupted a row after he made remarks on women's clothing during an event in Bhopal. 'I believe women should dress beautifully in Indian attire, as it is highly regarded in our culture. But, in some other countries, women who wear less clothes are often considered to be fashionable," he was heard saying. He further compared women wearing less clothes with politicians giving fewer speeches and called both of them 'lack of substance." 'To put it simply, women who wear less are like politicians who give fewer speeches; both seem to lack substance. I view women as goddesses, and they should wear good clothes. I don't like women or girls who wear revealing clothes, to the point where I refuse to take photos with them," he said. VIDEO | Here is what MP Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya (@KailashOnline) says on women who wear skimpy clothes: 'I believe women should dress beautifully in Indian attire, as it is highly regarded in our culture. But, in some other countries, women who wear less clothes are often… — Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) June 5, 2025 'Sometimes girls come to take selfies with me. I tell them, 'Beta, come in proper clothes next time, then we'll take a photo'," he added. Notably, this is not the only time he has made remarks related to the clothes of women. Even in 2022, while attending a Hanuman Jayanti event in Indore, the Madhya Pradesh Minister had said, 'I won't lie on Hanuman Jayanti… but girls these days wear such filthy clothes… We call women goddesses, but they don't appear that way… They look like Shurpanakha (a demoness from Hindu mythology). God has given you a beautiful body, at least wear decent clothes. Teach your children values". First Published:

Saffron flag-holding Bharath Matha motif at an official function emerges as a sore point between government and Raj Bhavan
Partisan politics appeared to have crept into the Kerala government's World Environment Day celebrations at Raj Bhavan on Thursday, with Agriculture Minister P. Prasad controversially skipping the event at the last minute, citing constitutional and political reasons. The picture of a saffron flag-holding Bharat Matha astride a lion at Raj Bhavan's central hall, where the event was scheduled to be held, emerged as a sore point between the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government and the Governor's office at the eleventh hour. Mr. Prasad justified his decision by stating that the picture, unlike the tri-colour, was not a national symbol. 'It is a motif used by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to promote its Hindu deification of the secular Mother India concept inspired by the Independence movement. The LDF could not constitutionally abide by Raj Bhavan's insistence that the administration hold the event against the backdrop of the RSS's political device,' he said. Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar took strong exception to the government's stance. 'We cannot do away with a national symbol we are living for,' he said later at a private function. Mr. Arlerkar observed the day by planting a fruit tree on the grounds of Raj Bhavan. The LDF administration shifted the function to the historic Durbar Hall in the government Secretariat. Mr. Prasad marked the occasion by planting a sapling. CPI(M)] State secretary M.V. Govindan stated that Raj Bhavan was constitutionally bound to remain overtly apolitical. 'The picture of the Bharath Matha adorning the Raj Bhavan's central hall projects the RSS's narrow Hindu majoritarian and communally sectarian view of the country. It has no place in a constitutional office or at a government function as in the case of other political symbols,' he added. CPI State secretary Binoy Viswam said the Bharath Matha symbol projected a discomfiting and anti-constitutional notion of Hindu nationalism, which aspired to relegate people of other faiths and religious traditions as subaltern citizens. 'Nevertheless, the incumbent Governor is starkly different from his predecessor. The LDF has no quarrel with him,' Mr. Viswam said. Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan accused the LDF of genuflecting to the Governor. He dared Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to call a spade a spade and criticise the Governor for allegedly attempting to transform Raj Bhavan into the RSS's bully pulpit. Last month, Raj Bhavan courted controversy by hosting columnist S. Gurumoorthy, whom the government and Opposition portrayed as an RSS ideologue. Meanwhile, former BJP State president Kummanam Rajasekharan accused the ruling front and the Opposition of perceiving nationalism with a jaundiced eye. 'Both the Congress and the CPI(M) view nationalism through the prism of religion,' he said.
