Vijay Mallya leaves Westminster Magistrates Court in London, Britain, September 12, 2018 ReutersA spokesman for Jaitley declined to comment further on ThursdayThe leader of India's opposition Congress Party has called for the resignation of Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over what he termed an act of "collusion" in the case of Indian tycoon Vijay Mallya - an accusation Jaitley denies. "Vijay Mallya was given a free passage by the finance minister," Gandhi told a press conference on Thursday of the perceived missed opportunity. "There is no question of my having ever given him an appointment to meet me," Jaitley said in the post. A spokesman for Jaitley declined to comment further on Thursday. The court in London said it will give its decision on December 10 on whether Mallya can be sent back to India.
