CHARLIES ANGELS - the Task Force appointed by the government for redrafting the Regional Plan (RP) 2021 got in action in the area for which they are not appointed by the Government of Goa! Why?
In fact one of the prominent members of the Task Force had called a Press Conference asking for Terms of Reference when I wrote an article titled CHALIE'S ANGELS BACK IN ACTION in Goan Observer on RP in the 3rd week of October 2007 giving 30 useful suggestions to Charlie's Angels. Even after that press conference government had not given any terms of reference to task force in stead government preferred to appoint two separate committees to study the issue on SEZ. Separate committees' appointment itself gives a clear message that Charlie's Angels are restricted to study on the issues involving RP although RP involves too many things (Refer my article in Goan Observer). As per commitment the Task Force for RP were suppose to come out with first round of document on RP by mid December 2007 instead they preferred to interfere in others domain and come out with their own opinion on SEZ. Why? I don't understand! Is it that the Charlie's Angles thought it is wise to divert Goan attention away from RP planning and take up unwanted, uncalled task of raising objections to SEZs in Goa only to deceive Aam Admi and than accord the sanction to original RP and give the color as though it's a new RP 2021 OR are they up to eating the cream churned out by Mathany, Manohar and Shripad who are the real heroes of anti-SEZ movement!
