Parrikar demands recall of Goa Governor

Panaji, Mar 10, 2005 (UNI)
 
Reiterating his demand for recall of Goa Governor S C Jamir and dissolution of the state assembly, dismissed Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar today alleged that the Governor continued to act like a ''Congress agent'' despite imposition of President's rule in the state since March 4.

Talking to mediapersons along-with the State BJP Chief Rajendra Arlekar at the party headqarters here today, Mr Parrikar urged the President to post an ''impartial'' Governor in Goa who could function independently of the party in power at the Centre.

Mr Parrikar said he would leave for th national capital tomorrow to meet the party leadership to finalise the petition to be filed before the Supreme Court as advised by the apex court last week regarding interim relief against the dismissal order of Jamir on February 2.

Both the leaders took exception to the ''illegal'' manner in which the employees of the Entertainment Society of Goa were dismissed by Rane government with no continuity in administration of the society which was responsible for holding the 36th International Film Festival of India.

The society, which successfully conducted the 35th edition of IFFI last year-end, would become self-reliant sooner and removing them at a stroke without proper notice was totally illegal.

They urged the Chief Secretary to review this and other ''strange acts'' of the erstwhile Rane government besides taking care of the renovated structures of the Old GMC complex which was the part of the venue of the IFFI.

Calling for dissolution of the Assembly, they said the party had lost trust in Governors Chair. The party, they said, would go to streets ''to expose the Governor and his misdeeds allegedly at the instance of the Congress High Command who used ProTem Speaker Francisco Sardinha for political manipulations in the Assembly on March 4''.

The Supreme Court directive in case of Jharkhand vindicated the stand of the BJP in Goa that the ProTem Speaker had no right to behave like a full-time Speaker to entertain disqualification or requalification petitions, they said.
