| BJP delegation meets Kalam on Goa issue | |
| NEW DELHI, FEB 3, 2005 (PTI)
In a show of strength, a BJP delegation led by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and including 17 MLAs from Goa today met President A P J Abdul Kalam and demanded the immediate reinstatement of the party's government in Goa and recall of Governor S C Jamir for his "unconstitutional and partisan" action.
The 28-member delegation, which included party president L K Advani and ousted Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, submitted a memorandum to Kalam, accusing state Governor of "mounting an unprecedented assault on Indian democracy." "The entire sequence of events, since the appointment of Jamir as the Governor of Goa till the events night, proves beyond any doubt that the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre had hatched a plot to destabilise the BJP government in Goa and use the high office of the Governor to bring it to fruition," it said.
Narrating the events leading to the BJP government's ouster, they alleged that the Governor took the decision to dismiss Parrikar without even waiting for the report.
The BJP delegation impressed upon the President that under the Constitution and also as per the established norms of democracy, the Governor has no powers to annull the ruling of the Speaker. "Judiciary is the sole forum before which an appeal can be made against the Speaker's ruling." It also pointed out that while the Governor gave only one day to Parrikar to prove his majority, he gave 30 days to incumbent Pratapsinh Rane to do so.
Besides 16 BJP MLAs, the delegation also included Mathany Saldanha, UGDP MLA supporting Parrikar. |
