To, The Editor Herald Panjim - Goa
* LETTER TO THE EDITOR *Dear Sir, This is with reference to the extreme bashing and lashing meted out to the Education Minister by his opposition headed by Adv.Aires Rodrigues and prompted and instigated from the shadows. If I may say it was Aires who initially hit out at the Education Minister soon after he took over charge with accusations of his educational qualifications . To further rub salt on his wounds Aires kept on waiting and instigating and now has used the German girls rape charges as a weapon to dethrone Babush . Now he has found a new enemy in Churchill Alemao... Where was this Utt Goenkaras Aires when the poor girl in Ponda was raped ? Where was this Aires when so many crimes were taking place against innocent and poor Christians in Orissa. I have always known him to be a cynic and controversial. I think Aires must channelise his resources for the right causes like migrant issues etc. My point is that why no letter in support of Babush from any of his followers and voters and supporters ? Why are they so scared to speak out against his detractors ? I feel that after taking over as the Education Minister Babush was successful in coming to some kind of amicable settlement with the long standing demands of the computer teachers . Why are these very people he had helped not even saying anything in support of the minister ? Is it because the agitation of the computer teachers was instigated initially by the BJP wolf in Sheeps clothing ? Is this same person jealous of the minister and also of the Chief Minister so as to cunningly instigate all the agitations taking place all over Goa ? Now a new agitation regarding Mobile Towers is going to start . Is it not proper to allow Digambar Kamat to run the administration peacefully instead of instigating all kinds of agitations and thus bring about the government machinery to a standstill ? I think what Mr. Mike Mehta the counsel for the Alemao Kid said is true that people are overdoing and overstepping their limits and agitating is now become more of a fashion. Babush had good plans especially for the primary and pre- primary education system and I think we must give him a chance to deliver without unduly stressing him out. Lets give him a chance. *Col.Cyril D'Souza (Retd.) *401 KHH Phase 11 Gauravaddo Calangute Goa 403516 Tel: 08322282881
