Britain is becoming the favorite haven for the tyrants and corrupt bigwigs of the subcontinent [Jun 27, 2015]

Maxxramblings: Even if I completely sidestep the ongoing controversy of BJP biggies hobnobbing with the much tainted and supposedly hunted Ex IPL supremo, Lalit Modi, i am flabbergasted by how could UK accept his petition to stay citing persecution and retribution etc. Don't the Brit immigration office bearers read news papers or do a basic background verification? A cursory glance would have revealed that this fellow is on the run from the law of the land and is seeking asylum only to avoid being put behind bars..
Surprised at countries known for their egalitarianism and high moral values shielding such swindlers like Lalit and tyrants like Musharraf.. Money seems to open all doors..Couldn't fathom how then is it different from Dubai who had been shielding the infamous Don.. Pls understand, India is no Banana republic that people need to seek political asylum citing persecution and please refrain from turning into safe havens for criminals with deep pockets..
And now to add to the mix we also have Mr. Mallya who too have chosen the Brit land as his place of refuge after having duped the nation of 9000 crores.  he too chose to avail the famous British hospitality (for crooks?!!!)

Heard a saying in the streets:
- You steal a few 100 Rupees and are caught: You will be lynched by the crowd 

- You steal a few thousand and are caught: You will be put to jail

- You steal a few lakhs and are caught: You may endure jail term or may get out by hiring a strong Lawyer..

- You steal couple of crores and are caught: You would have to be in cahoots of the mid level politicians and they will help save you, by setting a commission and which will drag for ages..

- You steal thousands of crores and are caught: You definitely are close to the political heavy weights cutting across party lines, so you get to avail the British hospitality while the politicians will do their best to kill the issue from the media and public inspection and help you enjoy a pleasant vacation...
