Mumbai: Hours before Vijay Mallya's Bangalore Royal Challengers took on the Mumbai Indians in the IPL-6 league match in Bangalore, employees of the grounded Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) held a silent ten-minute protest in front of the Mahatma Gandhi statue, adjacent to the cricket stadium.
Around 70 employees comprising of engineers, pilots, ground staff, and cabin crew held placards demanding that Mallya, chairman of KFA, pay their salaries instead of spending money on entertainment activities such as IPL and Formula 1. Employees of KFA haven't been paid their salaries since August last year. 'Money for IPL, not for employees', 'Please pay our salaries, we want to live', read the placards.
