Nigerian killed in gang war in Goa Vijay Desouza, TNN | Oct 31, 2013, 02.04 PM IST PANAJI: A Nigerian was killed brutally in a group clash at Parra, Bardez, in what is suspected to be over drug trade in the coastal belt of north Goa. Infuriated by the murder, several Nigerians are agitating demanding arrest of the assailants. Police sources said that the attack took place in Parra (around 15 km from here), which is a hub of Nigerian activities for quite some time now. A big gang descended at Parra where many Nigerians stay - in four and two wheeler vehicles and attacked a group of Nigerians with weapons. Some of the Nigerians were on bikes when they were attacked. One was hit with a dagger so severally that he breathed his last there itself. Five others were injured in the attack before the assailants fled from the scene. Other Nigerians who rushed to the spot on hearing about the ghastly murder, refused the police to take the body for post mortem demanding that the assailtants be arrested first. Senior police officers and deputy collector had rushed to the site. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/Nigerian-killed-in-gang-war-in-Goa/articleshow/24988988.cms * * * Nigerians protest death of national, attack police van in Goa Thursday, October 31, 2013, 14:38 Panaji: A Nigerian was found dead with stab wounds in Mapusa town near here, triggering protests from around 200 Nigerians who blocked a road on the city outskirts and allegedly attacked a police vehicle on Thursday. At around noon, the Nigerians attacked the police van carrying the body of their fellow national with sticks at Porvorim junction, police said. They removed the body from the van and kept it on the road, thus blocking the entire traffic in the area following which a huge traffic jam occurred there, they said.

The opposition in the state as well as civil society groups said Goa Police had failed to maintain law and order, and were cowering in the face of the onslaught from the Africans. The incident forced Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar to start a special drive to identify all foreigners illegally staying in Goa, with a view to deporting them. The bare-torsoed Nigerian nationals, who had blocked the highway, were demanding that the Nigerian ambassador in India be flown to Goa, claiming that Nigerian nationals were being targeted and even murdered with police complicity. The blockade occurred hours after Obina Paul Obiwesi was founded stabbed to death in Parra, a village adjoining the beach village of Calangute, notorious for being Goa's narco-tourism industry's capital. Chief Minister Parrikar said that the murder was a possible fallout of an inter-drug mafia rivalry. It is assumed that the murder was a result of drug dealing. Police are investigating that angle, Parrikar told a press conference Thursday evening. Earlier in the day, in a dramatic fashion, 50 Nigerians on two-wheelers intercepted a police van carrying the deceased Obina and smashed the vehicle's windows. They then dragged the body of their compatriot to the highway, where it was dumped to stop traffic on the busy route. The number of Nigerians engaged in the blockade of the highway soon swoll to more than 200, and scuffles broke out between local people and police. The police took more than a couple of hours to clear the road, and the situation worsened as residents of the area brutally beat up two Nigerians, who were admitted to the Goa Medical College Hospital with serious injuries. Parrikar said the episode came as a reminder of the action that needs to be taken against foreigners staying illegally in Goa. Everyone who is staying here illegally will be deported without fail. These are my clear directions to the police, Parrikar said. Anyone who operates a dance floor, discos, pubs or (any other) joints and gives support to foreigners illegally staying here without a visa will be acted against, Parrikar said. State Congress president Subhash Shirodkar said: The police were like dolls in front of the Nigerians. It is a matter of shame. The government needs to pull up its socks. Social media went into a tizzy over the incident, and celebrities as well as common people vented their ire on Facebook. The police should cancel all their visas and throw them out of India.

[Goanet] Thoughts on the Joint statement of Oct 22/2013 by MRA and RKA
To begin with, only the law ensures equality to all. Have these guys lost it. This seems to be an outpouring of frustration and anger, tapping into the so called anti Bammon feeling. This article works very hard to create a divide in the Catholic community. Certain sections know the stalwarts and pillars of Konkani are in the south, what better way to crack this Konkani Bastion. To begin with there are no Hindu Bammons, they are Brahmin. Bammon is the term used for Catholic converts. The Brahmins do not consider Bammons as true Brahmins but accept them as less or lesser equal. This being a typical goan phenomenon. Mahalsa Pai and Timoja Nayak wanted a hindu ruled state or a state aligned with a hindu King. Nowhere does it state that they or anybody else wished to turn Goa into a 'Bammon' state. During the Portuguese rule from 1510 to 1961, Bamonns of Goa learnt the Portuguese language and benefited from the Portuguese rule for education,jobs and other areas of life. the term Bammon again being a reference to Catholics. Such statements have always been spouted by those who are violently anti Catholic. This shows the mindset of the MRA. Romi Konknni and Marathi, were the two Indian languages which were popular in Goa as written languages and used for all spheres of life such as religious, spiritual, cultural, literature, educational, etc. this is outright bull. Konknni has always been the language of Goa. Prior to the arrival of the portuguese the script used was Modi and Halekannada, this is possible as for most of its recorded history Goa was ruled by kings based in present day Karnataka, prior to this the Modi script was prevalent across Large parts of India. It was only because of the suppression of Konknni by the Portuguese that the script disappeared. There are ample proofs that the Portuguese torched stacks of Written knowledge these Tomes were written in Modi and Halekannada and no mention is made of Marathi. Only after this Konknni Holocaust, that Marathi was used in religious matters in Goa. If I am not mistaken the Modi script was far more widely used then Devnagiri. The first Marathi inscription written in 1236 is found on a copper plate at Kasarpal of Bicholim Taluka. Does this imply that the whole of Goa spoke Marathi? A cross was found in Sancoale which has been dated as Pre Portuguese, does this mean that the whole of Goa was Christian before the arrival of the Portuguese? Portuguese missionaries were the first one to start the written tradition to Konknni in 1556. They used the Roman script to write and print Konknni. Since then, Romi Konknni developed as a written language. Till then Konknni was only a spoken language and it had no written tradition. On the one hand they destroy the written records then have so much love for Konknni that they start a whole new script? What was the need? The only reason being their plan of conquest. Change the very culture of the converts to pro Portuguese, they did this by 1) forcing all converts to change their surnames and live separately not in joint families. 2) forcing the converts to change their attire to a European fashion 3) banning hindu festivals so that catholic converts would not participate in the same 4) ensuring a different form of worship and different design of homes and churches Last but not the least change their script to a European one. Obviously Konknni was a robust language and the Portuguese realised that to gain complete supremacy they had to Destroy the language. Why burn the books if they were not a threat. Konknni being a main uniting force between Hindu and Catholic was destroyed so as to further separate the people. Without doubt Konknni had its own script or scripts and was a dynamic and uniting Language. All the known scholars and linguists have said that the inscription is in Marathi. In Tanjavore temple in Tamil Nadu there are plenty of Marathi inscriptions in the Devanagari script. This only proves that there was a lot of trade during those days. Land measures till date in Goa are of sumerian origin. Does this mean that we were ruled by Sumer, or that the sumerian language was spoken widely in Goa? The Phoenicians, Arabs, Romans traded extensively in with Goa based merchants and there will be various inscriptions if one searches, but were their languages widely spoken. In 1987 a Konknni dialect (Devanagari Konknni) of approximately 2% of Goans, namely the Bamonn community, was declared as the Official Language of Goa through their manipulative methods! this again is misleading. The 2% refers to Hindu Saraswat Brahmins. As I mentioned earlier Bammons are not counted as brahmin and therefore counted as Cathloic not Brahmin. I am in absolute awe, 2% manipulating 98%? These guys should be governing India. With such brilliance they will soon conquer the world. How did Mahalsa Pai and Timoja who belonged to the Saraswat community
[Goanet] Irking Panels . Annoying recommendations!
Looks like all panels appointed by the government in matters of 'pricings' think that 'they will not get their bread and butter' unless they propose a substantial hike! What I find amusing is that none of these panels ever go into digging out the actual cost of production, cost of raw materials, and the profitability that must/should be allowed! All they do is 'coming out with recommendations/proposals of hiking the existing price with shallow explanations!' Read the appended article and other details provided in the link and draw your own conclusion. U. G. Barad ARTICLE: Parikh panel for Rs 5 hike in diesel prices Also wants kerosene to be made costlier by Rs 4 a litre and cooking gas by Rs 250 a cylinder to cut fuel subsidy bill WEB LINK: http://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/parikh-panel-for-rs- 5-hike-in-diesel-prices-113103000918_1.html The Kirit Parikh committee, asked to revisit the pricing methodology of petroleum products, has recommended to the government an increase of Rs 5 a litre in diesel, Rs 250 a cylinder in LPG (cooking gas) and Rs 4 a litre in kerosene with immediate effect. The suggestions are likely to be considered at the cabinet by December. It also suggested a cap on diesel subsidy by oil marketing companies (OMCs) at Rs 6 a litre, which along with the rise it recommends would collectively save at least Rs 40,000 crore of the government's subsidy burden. On the tussle over export parity pricing for OMCs between the finance and petroleum ministries, the panel recommended against any change in the present trade parity pricing formula, despite a note on its stand from the finance ministry. At present, the prices of petrol and diesel are calculated by taking into account 2.5 per cent Customs duty to the refinery gate price, along with freight rates. The finance ministry wanted to save Rs 13,000 crore on underrecovery every year. We found that there is hardly any difference between EPP and TPP. Hence, it was suggested that since the government has already decided to eventually free the diesel price, there is no need to tinker with the existing pricing formula, which, even if modified, will not solve the problem of mounting under-recoveries incurred on sales of controlled products, mainly due to high international crude prices and depreciation of Indian rupee, Parikh said. The committee, headed by former planning commission member Parikh, had P K Singh, joint secretary from the petroleum ministry; S Garg, joint secretary from the finance ministry; IIM Ahmedabad professor S K Barua and petroleum ministry joint secretary R K Singh. According to petroleum ministry sources, the recommendations of the committee would be taken up before the cabinet by the end of November or early December. While pinning hopes on the Direct Benefits Transfer programme for transfer of susbsidies, the committee suggested that the price of subsidised domestic LPG be raised by Rs 250 a cylinder immediately and the balance subsidy be phased out over the next two years through a gradual price increase. The limit for subsidised cylinders be reduced from the present nine to six cylinders per annum to each household and the DBTL scheme be restricted to identified families based on an exclusion criteria Meanwhile, it has suggested a fresh formula for upstream companies such as Oil and Natural Gas Corporation and Oil India under the New Exploration Licensing Policy regime on a slab-based discount scheme. If the crude oil price is below $80 a barrel, the upstream contribution would be 40 per cent; between $80-120 per barrel, it would be 40 per cent, adding 0.25 per cent for each $1 barrel increase beyond $80 a barrel. If prices are above $120 a barrel, the upstream contribution was suggested at half the crude price.

[Goanet] Goa Needs the help of New York Jews
New York Jews including the Orthodox and Ultra Orthodox are the most politically organized community in the United States. And since we are talking of the US, that is saying something. Knowing this, every one wanting political office in the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut area, must get their active approval. New York's Jews however are open minded on most issues. They have helped New York's 700,000 muslims get organized to push their community issues. Previously the Muslims had no voice. For example when they were indiscriminately watched by police and other security agencies it was the Jews who raised their voices against these illegalities and profiling. It was the trigger for the Muslim community to start the coop process. There are many active and socially conscious Goans and non-Goans in Goa who have tried to organize themselves against the multitude of ills that beset the place, but eventually they seem to fall by the wayside divided by greed, external manipulation or ego. No better reason than to seek the help of the New York Jews for whom funding themselves for all expenses incurred on coming and staying in Goa during the time they help concerned Goans to organize themselves, would not be an issue. I think it would be a great opportunity for Floriano and the Goa Suraj who are primarily social changers before being merely just another political party, to seriously look into such co-operation.

[Goanet] S.C orders on writtren orders and non interference
Supreme Court judgement on bureaucracy The highest court of the land has felt the pulse of the people and the suffocation in the administrative forces. It has ordained that the political interference in heir functioning must be stopped. The bureaucrats must also have a fixed tenure of service. The bureaucrats must not succumb to oral orders and adhere to probity, and display integrity in their functioning. Besides the officers of this cadre must be sensitive, responsive and adhere to laws. It has been a common observation that uncomfortable, unpliable officers are perceived as a threat by the politicians, who feel insulted and disrespected when officers turn down their unreasonable and often illegal demands. Oral orders are deniable in case of legal scrutiny and blame can be solely attributed to the officers of having acted on with malafides. Frequent transfers, even in the middle of the night is a discrete measure of showing the powers of the Legislature bosses thereby intimidating, terrorising, pressurising, victimising and shattering their will, as well as blotting their career prospects, The agony is also shared by the immediate family and shock waves touch the whole family .Those who refuse the will of the majesty have to pay a heavy price .The outstanding courage of Ashok Kemka, Kiran Bedi, Durga Nagpal, P.C Parak has come in for sympathy as well as accolades from the public and the media far from accepting the will of the politicians intending to make an example and silence the others who will dare. ,Many others have valiantly refused the temptation, but have not received public focus , lime light and victimised by the authorities The steel frame of IAS, IPS, IFS etc is reduced to mere straw frame .There are service and conduct rules that are breached with impunity. The Associations of cadres rarely show their determination to seek justice. The Legislation in Maharashtra in 2006 offering a fixed tenure of 3 years and transfers only in May / April are mere paper tigers Will the orders of S.C be implemented or will the parties jointly bring about amendments to circumvent and deny the orders. They have already sounded alarming bells of caution that the Legislature with the C,M have the right to transfer in so called undefined exigencies and that no one will be able to take away this privilege. Hence they will not relinquish this power of transfers, sometimes sought for pecuniary gains also. The politicians are citing isolated cases and dangers from ideologies, individuals as well as organisations and need to counteract such divisive forces. The misuse and abuse is what is being questioned and not exceptions .The blame is shifted on bureaucrats for routine transfers, but actually motivated , inspired by politicians taking shelter under oral orders .The RTI act has given right to even provide file notifications, but only in written orders it will be effective To day the media, RTI Act, Court intervention, and vigilant public opinion can ensure that such acts will not be tolerated and the S.C judgement will have to be operational sooner than later Implementation with unrelenting politicians can always be a hindrance, as it is with all sensible, meaningful laws in existence. Thus the fixed tenure, written orders, less of political interference under Art 32 will usher good functional stability and responsible conduct The land mark judgement will unshackle the bureaucracy, ushering in administrative reforms, freeing them the worries and torments of frequent transfers by the political class The dawn of elections and fears of backlash may momentarily silence the politicians from taking a hasty decision and retreat tactically.

Re: [Goanet] Supreme Court Orders.
Is this really the case in democratic India, Nelson? If you confirm it is, then the last bastion - the courts - has fallen. It is one thing to change the law in order to better reflect the will and well being of the people. It is quite another to bring in amendments to destroy the spirit of the court's orders. The Supreme Court should take upon itself to strike down such amendments and laws and provoke a constitutional crisis since the corrupt leguslators will no longer be able to abide by this bright light shining on them. Something drastic must happen either from the courts or from the people themselves. The status quo so beloved of Manmohan Singh will destroy India. Roland.

[Goanet] Only in Kanata - High Grounds
Two scandals are rocking us right now. One in Toronto on the municipal stage concerning the mayor and one in the Upper House in Ottawa that involves a senator and the prime minister. As scandals go, this is rich fodder for the media but it has none of the taxpayer taken for stratospheric rides for personal gain features that mark scandals in India's coal-gate, telecom licences or fodder scams. In the case of the Mayor whose teflon quality (shades of gangster John Gotti) finally seems to be wearing out, it concerns him cavorting with all sorts of unsavory characters like drug dealers and a murder convict tow truck operator to feed his own questionable habits that so far has not affected his running of the city. In the case of the prime minister, it concerns his party's senator whose hand was caught in the cookie jar claiming reimbursement for expenses that he didn't incur or was not entitled to. The faux pas here was that the pm tried to cover it up but now denies all knowledge of his involvement. No politician ever learns from Bill Clinton's lesson of admit it and apologize right from the start. Inspite of seeming all innocent like, this country like the United States does have it own financial stinks that make individuals rich, but it happens on a level that few see and the press cannot lay their hands on some kind of proof which if absent, will destroy cred and hit them with liability. Can't help comparing the mayor's, senator's and prime minister's flu-like woes to their Indian counterparts' late stage cancer, but the only ones who worry are the ones with the flu. A matter of who has the conscience I suppose. Roland. Sent from Samsung Mobile
