Mumbai: Defunct carrier Kingfisher Airlines employees sent an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and minister of external affairs Sushma Swaraj on Tuesday questioning why dues owed by Vijay Mallya to banks were given precedence over their unpaid salaries.
"We the employees of Kingfisher Airlines wish to share with you that we have gone through great ordeal as citizens of India and in the process discovered our rotten system which treats everyone in the same manner,'' said the opening lines of the letter, signed "Kingfisher Employees''.
It said that Vijay Mallya didn't pay his Indian employees their salary, gratuity or compensation. But he paid and compensated his employees based in London and other foreign countries. "We are not even able to withdraw our hard earned PF amount due to liquidation process,'' it said adding that employees dues should have precedence over bank’s dues.
Referring to Indian government's attempts to bring Mallya back into India, the letter said that nonpayment of salary is considered a serious crime in London. It added that a Kingfisher employee’s wife had committed suicide over unpaid salaries and that should be enough ground for Mallya's extradition.
