I totally agree with you Sandeep. The CM has done a good thing here. But I really doubt what he says below...... A CM who has his eyes & ears everywhere as a recent post put thus' quote ....it was not due to the non-efforts of GHAG but because Parrikar is a man of extraordinary intelligence with eyes and ears everywhere, and was fully aware that the large public turn-out for this event, comprised of people from all over the state, was a verdict on both issues. unquote I know these are 2 seperate issues, but still it calls for more transparency Seb ========== GOACOM DAILY NEWS CLIPPINGS 22 June 2004 FEIGNS IGNORANCE: CM Manohar Parrikar, on Monday feigned ignorance about the involvement of RSS activists in the destruction of street name plaques at Fontainhas and surrounding areas. (H) | Operation Red-light | | The million dollar question that needs to be posed to our "elite | intellectuals" in whom the milk of human kindness overflows is: Do only | people who indulge in illegal activities have rights? Shouldn't the law | abiding citizens too have rights of their own, including the right to move | freely and without fear on the beaches and on the streets? Isn't it the | constitutional right of a citizen to be able to live peacefully, without | threat to his life? Weren't these rights threatened by the very people for | whose cause these activists are now fighting for? | | Yes, a rehabilitation package was necessary but "Operation Red-light" was | even more necessary to rid Goa of the social stigmas. Parrikar must be | lauded for showing the courage and political will in his efforts to remove | these scourges from the map of Goa. . | | Sandeep Heble | Panaji-Goa | |
