International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Happy Independence day In a place like Goa,money can buy the votes to get elected as M.L.A's,M.P's etc.Money can buy the M.L.A's to form and pull down the government.Money can turn the illegal into legal and vice-versa.Money can be utilized to use the Police to harass the Innocent's if they try to expose the rich and the powerful.Money can buy the kind of jobs one wants although he/she might not be the deserving candidate and so on. Crores of rupees were offered to some of our beloved legislators as per their statements on the local dailies.Who offered them the money?From where the money came from?Are there any authorities to look after such matters?Are there any laws to book the culprits who are involved in such controversies or the same money can be used to solve such controversies? The one time very beautiful state of Goa was ruined and looted like anything.Our Virgin beaches like Palolem,Agonda etc. are miserably raped during day light and some of our beloved power-hungry politicians are talking about saving Goa.There is not much difference between a prostitute and a goan politicians.At least a prostitute has some status but our beloved politicians are son cheap that there is no bad word available in the dictionary which suits them. On the day of our independence these same dirty politicians will hoist our holy tri-colour and we the general public will clap our hands.Let's continue with our behavior and march towards destruction in the name of development.
