http://goanvoice.org.uk/miningpetition.php --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ref 1. http://www.google.ae/#hl=en&tbo=p&tbs=nws%3A1&q=parrikar%3Bcbi&meta=&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=parrikar%3Bcbi&gs_rfai=&fp=9ff109015e87b3f2 Ref 2. http://sify.com/news/Probe-fresh-mining-clearances-in-Goa-BJP-news-National-kd1t4ccbhhd.html Ref 3. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/Excise-scam-money-used-to-fund-terror/articleshow/5724730.cms It appears that the Indian Law enforcement agencies i.e. CBI, Police etc can also be called Indian Blackmailing or Intimidating agencies; influenced by an extremely corrupt system. Is it not obvious to Goans, why the cases against Manohar Parrikar were bought up now, after so many years, by the corrupt Goa Government? It’s fair to say that Mr. Parrikar thoroughly exposed the in-competently corrupt Government, which is destroying the State, in addition to looting the Tax-Payer with no accountability. I am not supporting, judging or Defending Mr. Parrikar on the respective case or him as a Politician; but surely there are also bigger cases against many MLA's and Ministers aligned to the Current Government in power. Or are these cases kept as security to guard against possible erring by MLA's? Also we see so many genuine activists among the comman man, who intimidated or blackmailed by the so called Law Enforcement agencies; particularly the Police under the directive of their political masters. The entire system is filled with so much dirt and needs to be cleaned up by Goans, who must their democratic rights in a responsible manner. Overseas Goans on the other hand should at least start lobbing, questioning Goan MLA’s on overseas visits, supporting causes financially, speaking their mind positively in the local media etc, instead of just doing nothing and ONLY giving their opinions in cyberspace!!
