Our national emblem has engraved Satye Mavye Jayathae, but everyone seems to be hiding,manipulating,suppressing or burying the truth! This is openly done when Minutes are wrongly recorded and as evident in the ruckus at the recent Benaulim Gramsabha over Affidavit on Garbage, a serious problem all over Goa. Personal example: when I alleged, inter alia,that the Consumer Protection Council meetings are not held and conducted as per the Act. The learned Advocate General affidavit simply stated that everything was being done correctly now. That effectively buried the matter. No censure or punishment whatsoever. That is the main problem! What is worse ,when I brought up the matter at a hurriedly called Council Meeting,no discussion as the matter was sub-judice, and even later, they hide under the Court had decided, and now all my allegations are out of bounds for information/discussion or clarification. Which citizen can waste his time and money duelling with government in Court?Democracy requires making truth powerful and power truthful! Rule of law and not making the law an ass. We all seem to go round in circles. Going to jail is not a picnic? Human rights does not mean "biryani" and perks in jail, so in general, criminals would rather be looked after in jail than not steal etc,work hard to make a living and be a law abiding citizen.Correctional Institutes and human rights are much debated and some jails abroad are like five star correctional places, monitored by psychologists and human after his statement,like the NCP waiting in the wings to subvert the law for their colleague, perhaps the Assembly will decide his statement must now nullify/modify further police procedures.Legislators make laws and they generally in India, do not apply to them! The Karnataka Assembly has Legislators not adjourning and sleeping overnight in the Assembly to force the government to act against illegal mining! The rise of corruption is inversely proportional to good governance.There is a growing trust deficit between the government and the people! Maoists,Naxalites,stone pelting,Bundhs,violence and terror. Like Remo says India I cry for you! Look at disintegrating River Princess, Police-politicians-Drugs nexus investigation , the police Bill to become law,the bleeding land and it's hardpressed citizens. Goa we weep for you?
