Dear Readers, All said and done only the Voters and no one else to be blamed. Truth must prevail at all times. For errant elected representatives to be fixed in their place the Voters alone have to be in action. It's a shame and disgrace to have such elected representatives in the cabinet and in Governance if the reports are true. God Help Us all and our future generation.

On 7th March 2010, after ZP elections, a Photo-journalist alleged that Minister Mickky Pacheco had manhandled him by catching hold of his shirt and asking him why he took his photo at the Nehru Stadium, Fatorda where all sealed ballot boxes are received for safe keep until 9th March (the counting day). He also caught hold of his camera and ordered to delete the photo that was taken from a distant. Minster also asked the journalist if he had taken any permission (from him) to take the photo. Minister Pacheco left the journalist only after the intervention of the other newsmen gathered there. The journalist filed a case and the Margao police registered a non-cognizable case against the Minister Mikkey Pacheco Minister Pacheco denied manhandling of the photo journalist. So, who is lying here? The Photo Journalist or the Minister Mikky? It may be reminded that it was the same Ministers who was once accused of slapping a Jr. Engineer from Electricity Dept. What ever happens to the case, only god knows. Again, in a related incident, during Colva Mob attacking the CD producer's house, it was reported that one or two media men were manhandled there too . Now, I have some questions that need answers.. - Do we need to take permission of a public figure such as ministers when they are at public places like Nehru Stadium (not being with family, mistresses etc)? - Are there any different rules for newsmen and other amateur / freelance photographers when it comes to photographing ministers etc? Any one? Thanks for your help. NB. We would also like to know what action did the GUJ has taken on this assault case? Or pending investigation, whether GUJ can boycott the minister’s official coverage. joego...@yahoo.co.uk for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc The INTERNET now has a personality.
