Jose-bab Colaco said ( regarding comments made by Manohar Parrikar to date on the Babush and co v/s Police and co episode ) : Now let's examine Mr. Parrikar's two (contested) and apparently conflicting comments I fully support both of the statements of Mr. Parrikar. He is absolutely correct in both statements. I do not know what is wrong with what Mr. Parrikar said. Anybody who disagrees - please advise. My comments : 1 ) I thank JC for the above comments. With the number of mails critical of his comments and accusations of him having done U turns increasing rapidly on this forum , I was beginning to be convinced that I was the only person to feel that both statements were pretty well justified . JC has perhaps stopped me from checking into the local loony bin facilities. 2 ) I note JC has made some comments about Manohar Parrikar's credibility. I agree with most to varying degrees. If there is any broad criticism of JC's post , I would say that he has failed to list several more errors made by Mr Parrikar . I will come back and discuss this issue ( as promised to Bab Mervyn ) once my outstanding questions to A ) MR V GADGIL B ) MR F NORONHA C ) MR M BRAGANZA and D ) Those involved with respect to the " Questioning everything "thread ....are answered. I would be grateful if other Goanetters can periodically remind those listed above , so we can all indulge in a bit of Manohar Parrikar bashing ( with me leading the charge ) 3 ) I repeat, however, that my comment was regarding the specific issue at hand ( i.e. the current Babush and co v/s Police and co incident ) And bringing the discussion in this thread back to what we started with , here is some " latest " news : In Nagari konkani from Sunaparant ( or " Sonarprant "as rechristened by the Broken peace fact finding committee )....a revealing photo of Babush greets you on page 1. http://www.goanews.com/pdf/suna220208.pdf In English from the Navhind times : http://www.navhindtimes.com/articles.php?Story_ID=022212 More NT : http://www.navhindtimes.com/articles.php?Story_ID=022211 The Hindu : http://www.hindu.com/2008/02/22/stories/2008022260951400.htm Economic times ( Please note , Jose-bab that this article says that Manohar Parrikar did a sharp U turn....in other words this reputed national broadsheet clearly disagrees with you and me ) http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/PoliticsNation/Goa_MLA_held_for_attack_on_police/articleshow/2799669.cms luv and regards, anand ( Dr Anand Virgincar ) _________________________________________________________________ Who's friends with who and co-starred in what? http://www.searchgamesbox.com/celebrityseparation.shtml
