I am referring to my comments on Newspaper Headlines 20-02-08 about Taleigao
mob attacking Panjim police Headquarters....etc.

Re: Parrikar's and Dr. Wilfred D'Souza's stance taking Babush's side:
Politicians are one thro' thick and thin; only people are the scapegoats

By the above I have put Manohar Parrikar and Dr. Wilfred D'Souza in the
same basket. Why?? Earlier, before the news papers came out with the full
blown news, I received Digital Goa's SMS news service (While I was in
Mandrem attending Remo's 'No sound pollutuuion show') and its text goes
like this:
Quote
BJP demands judicial inquiry into ill treatment to Babush & Mayor by police.
Parrikar condemned police assault on Babush. Police acted
unconstitutionally, he said
Unquote
Next morning, when the papers arrived (GT) I went thro' Dr. Wilfred's
statement in the frant page box and gave a go by to Manohar Parrikar's
knowing what it would say. Therefore my comment.
Now, after I went thro' Dr. Anand's post and the response by Nigel Britto, I
scanned through Manohar Parrikar's statement (box) GT- 20/2 and it is a
complete volte-face on the earlier SMS that I got.
Two things:
1. Either Digital Goa has totally misreported Manohar Parrikar when it sent
out the above SMS.
2. Or there has been a complete change of heart on Manohar Parrikar's side
from the earlier statement he made and the latter.
I extend my appologies if it was the former.

Dear Goanetters,
You must all be aware by now of the horrifying events
in Panaji yesterday ...........
"" Manohar Parrikar is the only politician who seems to
have come out of these sad events with any degree
of credibility . I would say that even if I detested him
and the BJP with the same visceral hate that some on
this forum exhibit.
I hope fellow goanetters ( particularly from the other
side of the divide ) agree. ""
