[Goanet] Letter to Election Commission of India
Our Ref: GSRP/EC/SCO/07/02 Dated: 12th. July, 2002. To, Mr. A.K. MAJUMDAR, Secretary, Election Commission of India, Nirvachan Sadan, Ashoka Road, New Delhi - 110 001. Dear Sir, Subject: Acknowledgement of directives vide Supreme Court Order No. 3/ER/2002/JS-II/Vol-III dated; 28 th June, 2002. Su-Raj Party, while acknowledging receipt of your above mentioned directive letter dated 3rd. July, 2002 along with the leaflet detailing the Supreme Court Order and the relevant requirements for furnishing of criminal antecedents, assets/liabilities and educational qualifications by candidates contesting Parliamentary as well as state legislative assembly elections, we heartily congratulate the Election Commission for implementing the Honourable Supreme Court's Order, despite unanimous opposition to it by all of India's political parties. In its maiden assembly election contest, Goa Su-Raj Party fielded eight candidates who were required to furnish such details like criminal antecedents, personal assets and educational qualifications in the application form as well as in the "Agreement" as prerequisites for obtaining party tickets since these are the Party's constitutional provisions. We at Goa Su-Raj Party believe that, left to the discretion of the political parties, no laws will be enacted by our august 'People's Parliament' to prevent criminalisation of national and state politics which has reached alarming proportions. Therefore, the only saviours of our beloved nation is the Honourable Supreme Court, the Election Commission and the Central Vigilance Commission. The professy that Sir. Winston Churchill made in the open British Parliament in 1947 on the future 'governance' of this, then to be, newly independent nation, seems to be coming true, but must not be allowed to consume the nation at all costs. We are enclosing the copies of the " Application Form" and the "Agreement" as mention above along with a copy of our Constitution, for your kind information. With the highest appreciation and regards for the sincere efforts of the honourable Justices of the Supreme Court and for the 'WILL' of the Election Commission to implement the same, we remain, Yours faithfully, for Goa Su-Raj Party Sd/- (Floriano Lobo) President. Encl: As above. Copy: Honourable Justices of the Supreme Court of India, New Delhi. Copy: Chief Electoral Officer, EC, Altinho, Panjim. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet === For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?

[Goanet] Fw: Commendable stand.
- Original Message - From: hobcraft To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 13, 2002 4:26 PM Subject: Commendable stand. There are two specific issues/happenings in the recent past which are very dear to Goa and Goans and on which is based the Goa's identity and its well being respectively. The stand taken by Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar in both these instances is commendable and can only foster the ground swell support from Goans from all walks of life for these initiatives. Inspite of the rift of discontent that he knew would be created within the Marathi camp in Goa, Manohar Parrikar has made a bold stand in the context of the almost forgotten great Goan son of the soil 'Shenoi Goembab' There is no language equalling one's mother tongue and without its patronage, there cannot be 100 percent identity and integration of its peoples. Goa's tongue has suffered enough of persecution for ages, but has been resilient in keeping itself alive and well. It is only through the well meaning and sincere patronage to one's own mother tongue, the kind shown by Bab Manohar Parrikar by according the deserving tribute and recognition to 'SHENOI GOEMBAB that Goans can mend fences and come together to fight the external challenges that threaten every aspect of Goan survival. Madei river water diversion to malaprabha basin by Karnataka has been a thorn in Goa's flesh for a long time. What is more hurting is the connivance of the Karnataka government with the Central Water Commission in total disregard for the well being of the neighbouring state of Goa. It must be well understood that environmental and ecological degradation of Goa cannot benefit Karnataka in the long run. The fight to put things into right perspective gains significance when the government of the day leaves no stones unturned to get at the root of this conspiracy to deprive Goa of its livelyhood and balance. The full support for this fight and the initiative taken by Manohar Parrikar in this regard is well appreciated. The representation of Goa's all party meet with the Union Minister in New Delhi, however, should have been expanded to all parties rather than only the parties represented in the Goa legislative assembly. Nevertheless, it is heartening that Goa is fighting as one united force for its survival. We wish Goa well.

Floor Karekar Building- Angod-Mapusa-403 507 Ph: 266111 / 266101 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: www.goasu-raj.org Our Ref: GSRP/DF-1/07/02 Date: 9th. July, 2002. To, Mr. S.C. Verenkar, Director of Fisheries, Panjim- GOA. Sir, Sub: Failure to implement "Goa Fishing Rule" on Mesh -Size by the Directorate of Fisheries. Ref: "Fisheries Department fails to crack whip on use of mesh size" Herald dt. 05/07/2002. The Herald, as referred to above, has reported your comments stating that the Goa Fisheries Rules on mesh size are 'impracticable' and 'not advisable' . (xerox copy of the paper cutting enclosed). If you own that statement reported therein, then we would like to enlighten you that this rule on fish net mesh size control is not new to Goa. This rule was very effectively implemented by the erstwhile Portuguese regime. There is nothing indigenous about this rule as this is followed internationally to protect the juvenile fish. Once upon a time, Goa enjoyed abundance of fish in its seas as well as in its estuaries and rivers. Today, because this important rule is bent, if not totally abrogated due to the overpowering predominant influence of the fishing lobby over the governments of the day and its bureaucracy, for their own vested interests, Goa's marine as well as the estuarine fish resources are depleted and many species are either extinct or are on the verge of extinction. Furthermore, your kind attention is drawn the very disturbing comment that you have made in the above mentioned newspaper report: Quote Tomorrow, the fisheries officials cannot just go and confiscate the nets and thus bring the activity to a standstill" Unquote. Such a statement coming from a supposedly responsible person such as the Director of Fisheries is, indeed, in very bad taste and demands immediate apology. This type of attitude adopted by the custodians of law promotes lack of respect for the laws in the people who have to obey them. Secondly, taken the issue of government's current ban imposed on mechanized fishing, effective from 1st. June to 15th. August, 2002, your office has issued directives to all concerned fishermen to observe the ban in toto. According to the reports reaching our office, we believe that some politically well placed fishermen's groups have planned to fish from 25th. July, 2002 to defy the ban, to follow the example of last year. If this happens, is your department ready to swing into action and not only arrest the violators and impound their boats and trawlers but also suspend their licenses for a period of 6 months or more? Or will you derelict your official duties by shifting the blame elsewhere just as you have indicated through your comments as mentioned above? If that happens, then it will be a clear cut case of ''Contempt of High Court", and as such, necessary proceedings shall be filed against you and your department, seeking your removal from office while holding you solely responsible for helping vested interests to promote anarchy and get away with it. We further remind you, sir, that your suggestions as reported in the above mentioned newspaper report of making the fishermen aware of the need for the control of mesh size through awareness workshops etcetera is fine as long as it helps to forewarn the would be offenders of this rule of their potential arrests, heavy penalties and on the spot suspension of their fishing licenses. But to leave it to the discretion of the fishermen to follow the rules through such awareness programmes is highly presumptive and borders on absurdity. This will be tantamount to kicking the law around and conspiring to deprive the people of Goa their staple food from their plates. Please be assured that your inaction to implement, in totality, the fishing ban upto 15th. August, 2002 as provided by the law, as well as your inaction to implement, in the strictest possible manner, the mesh-size rule for the fishing nets, will be taken as blatant aberrations in governance on the part of the government and specifically your department. Therefore, you are hereby forewarned to expect massive people's agitation to restore the rule of law in this land where all principles are seen to be compromised for selfish personal int
[Goanet] Fw: Comments on All party meeting to reject the SC directives to EC.
NT. JULY 9, 2002 Front Page Box Order on candidates' background stands: EC NEW DELHI, July 8 (PTI): despite an all-party meeting rejecting it, the Election Commission today said its order on seeking criminal antecedents of candidates would stand and be enforced in the election to lone Rajya Sabha seat in Maharashtra on July 25. "The affidavit is in position. The commission is only following a Supreme Court directive," commission sources said. Prescribing the affidavit, the commission had made it clear on June 20 that non-furnishing of full and complete information by a candidate would be considered violative of the court's directive. The last date for filing of nominations in the Rajya Sabha election is July 15, the day the monsoon session of Parliament begins. The sources said the commission had turned down a request by the government to seek a fresh directive from the apex court on the issue since it was going to hold an all-party meeting to discuss the matter. NT. EDITORIAL , July 10, 2002. Without Any Checks IDEOLGICAL DISTINCTIONS WERE blurred when it came to rejecting the Election Commission's recommendation making it necessary for candidates contesting an election to declare details of their assets and criminal antecedents. In a rare show of unanimity the representatives of all parties at an all-party meeting made it explicitly clear that they were not inclined to abide by the Supreme Court order and the directives of the Election Commission. The leaders, who have been winning sympathy of the people by shouting hoarse over the rise in corruption and criminalisation of politics, ironically described the Supreme Court's verdict and EC's directive as untenable. It is really sad that someone like Mr. Arun Jaitley, who stands for ethical politics, rejected the directives on the ground that criminal offences can sometimes be political. Then there was the observation of the Union Law Minister, Mr. Jana Krishnamurthy who in his eagerness to undo the recommendations of the Election Commission put the politicians at par with the Supreme Court. He observed: "The meeting appreciated the Supreme Court judgment, but each of us is supreme in our respective spheres and as far as enactment of laws go, Parliament is supreme." There is no doubt that Parliament is supreme, but a common citizen has got the right to know what the parliamentarians have done to curb this menace? Why has the malady been infecting the bodypolitik? What is even worse is that the politicians propose to support a legislation within a week to safeguard their narrow interests. The deliberations leave no room for doubt that the politicians are not at all interested in fighting corruption and criminalisation of politics. How could the criminal antecedents, or for that matter, the information about the candidate's assets, liabilities, educational qualifications be politically misused? The criminals who enter politics or the politicians who have criminal background use legislator's office to acquire immunity and levers to pressurize the government machinery into not acting against them. Do the politicians really treat the people of the country as naïve, ignorant creatures? Whom do they want to fool? People who know everything but are scared to open their mouth due to their criminal acts. It is really a matter of shame for the political system and the politicians. It is indeed a matter of great surprise that a person like Mr. Advani, who fought against corruption and criminalisation of politics, could become a part of the decision. A common citizen has the right to know why the political parties and the leaders are scared of the Supreme Court verdict. The Leftist leaders echoed the sentiments of their Rightist colleagues and Rightists quoted the Leftists in their quest to stall the implementation of SC's directive. All touted the view that the directive would pose serious obstructions and needs to be amended. It is extreme form of hypocrisy that the politicians who have been harping on the need to fight against the criminalisation, are now shying away from it. Why, instead of appreciating the initiative of the Supreme Court, are they asserting the element of their supremacy? The government too has suddenly come to realize of the urgency to maintain politician's supremacy. Mr. Krishnamurthy articulated the mood: "Politicians are racing against time". One wonders how? What made him to come out with such statement? Why the minister is in a hurry to bring a bill on it within a week? One wonders why the government is not at al willing to allow the Election Commission to implement the corrective measures? If the EC fails to do justice, it can take corrective (actions) in future to rectify the wrong. It is really strange why there is reluctance to allow the EC to act. Political leaders must realize that the Supreme Court came out with its directive when Parliament and political leaders had raised their hands and expressed

[Goanet] Goa Suraj to hold special convention
GOA SU-RAAJ PARTY TO HOLD ITS FIRST SPECIAL CONVENTION (4th. AUGUST-2002 (SUNDAY) 3.00 TO 6.00 PM. T.B. CUNHA HALL, PANJIM) Having braved the competitive arena of Goa's electioneering in its maiden attemptby fielding 8 candidates (4 in South, 4 in North) where money and muscle power prevailed as never before in the 2002 Goa Assembly Elections, it was no wonder that all its candidates lost their deposits. However, for Goa Su-Raaj Party, unlike other parties whose candidates lost their deposits, main among them being the President of the Maharashtra Gomantak Party (MGP), Mrs. Shashikala Kakodkar, it was not a defeat but a victory, not a humiliation, but a commendation, not a loss but a thousand wins. By braving the 2002 elections before its time (2004), the nascent GOA SU-RAAJ PARTY has shown to the electorate of Goa and to the world at large (expat Goans) that it means business seriously. It has proven to the Goans that elections can be fought without excessive money and that muscle power has no place in the educated Goan society at large. It is little wonder that goliaths like Congress and BJP has won 16 and 17 SEATS respectively. One must consider the amount of CRORES OF RUPEES of public as well as blood money they have spent for winning those seats. If the Election Commission had implemented its CODE OF CONDUCT seriously and diligently to deprived them the use of spending this money , or making use of the official government machinery, the results would have been quite different. As for the UGDP, it has been victorious only in the case of one seat, that of Mathany Saldanha. And the credit does not go to the UGDP, but, to the years of sincere work and efforts of this man alone to identify the sores in the successive government administrations and their agendas. The other two seats have come by on the sole merits of the candidates, having ONLY the clout of muscle and money at their disposal. The verdict of the People of Goa as far as NCP is concerned is obvious. People of Saligao have shown, time and again, that they respect Dr. Wilfred D'Souza for what he is and not the Party he belongs to. For Goa Su- Raaj Party, the real work has begun the day after the election results 2002 are declared. It vigorously sought to learn from its candidates, who sacrificed their leisure and that of their respective families, their precious time and their hard earned money to prove that they believe in what Goa Su-Raaj stands for. We can hardly assume that they expected to win in the race where the 'artful dodgers' were at play. And Goa Su-Raaj is totally grateful to these brave 8 men for their sacrifices to promote its cause. Not wanting the effect of their good work in their respective constituencies to ware out, they have been eager to carry on the good work of spreading the good news to the Goans that clean politics is not dead yet. Therefore, to oblige them and in keeping with the Party's future programmes, the first CONVENTION OF THE PARTY has been organized to be held on 4th. August- 2002 at T. B. CUNHA Hall, Panjim at 3.00 p.m. The Convention will be an 'OPEN' Convention where not only the members will attend but it will be open to all who want Goa's politics of ODC (Opportunism, Defections and Corruption) to end and who wish to usher in the politics of GOOD GOVERNANCE. Personages who have contributed towards exposing the corrupt regimes and their agendas as well as the press, the media free-lancers, NGOs, SIGs (Special Interest Groups) and anyone who would want to witness the message that Goa Su-Raaj wants to send to Goa & Goans shall be our invited guests. The programme at this Convention is to put into actual effect, (but on the mock-up basis to elect the 'SHADOW CABINET') , the Party's unique democratic and transparent procedure of electing the Leader of its Legislative Wing, and the members of the CABINET' which is sealed at un-amendable 5 (FIVE ONLY) under the Party's constitutional provision (Article 34). The nominees/contestants in this case will be the EIGHT (8) candidates who contested on Goa Su-Raaj Party's tickets and the Independent candidate the Party supported in the Taleigao Constituency. A VIEW OF THE PARTY'S GRASS-ROOT ORGANISATION (To be formally announced at the Convention) 1.. Eligible members from each WARD of each VILLAGE constituting the CONSTITUENCY will be NOMINATED as 'WARD REPRESENTATIVE' 2. The respective 'WARD REPRESENTATIVES' will elect from amongst themselves the 'VILLAGE REPRESENTATIVE' in keeping with the constitutional provision. 1.. The 'VILLAGE REPRESENTATIVE' will elect from amongst themselves the 'CONSTITUENCY PRESIDENT & the 'CONSTITUENCY SECRETARY' 1.. The vacancies in the 'VILLAGE REPRESENTATIVES' following the above election will be filled by appointing the 2nd. highest procurer of votes in the election of 'WARD REPRESENTATIVES' 1.. The vacancies in the 'WARD REPS' will be filled up by fresh nominations. CRITE
