[Goanet]RE: Sending off a protest mail - Fr. Prasad Gonsalves
Dear Alfredo, I had writen a long report on the political situation in India but somehow when I was about to send it off to you I erased by mistake the whole text. Any way, here is a short version of what I had in mind. It is indeed outrageous and a shame to Indian democracy that such contemptful and illegal atrocities are allowed to happen in India without the intervention of our judiciary. I´ll be following this case of Fr. Prasad Gonsalves and wd. be thankful to you if you wd. mail me whatever you come across on this matter(don´t send me goa-news).The Indian Judiciary is simply off its rightful track and I can´t visualise democracy and state of Law without a functioning legal system.We have plenty of examples-the most horrendous was the Godhra massacre and its aftermath in Ahmedabad. Although the court proceedings were shifted from Ahmedabad to Delhi because of alleged bias, the proceedings don´t seem to have gained any momentum.The road-construction Engineer Dubey, who was murdered when working at the site was another very sad story.Dubey wrote to our then PM Vajpayee about widespread corruption of the entrepreneurs.Probably there was a leak in the PMO, which led to the murder of Dubey. Vajpayee promised Dubey´s parents that he wd. personally follow up the matter in the courts and the outcome?NIL! Am following up the Ahmedabad case in Delhi courts and the odd turn-around and volte faceof the plaintiff and witnesses reminds me of small lies one had to have in one´s repertoir not to be caught for an offense. I have sent a protest e-mail to Justice Anand, Chairman, National Human Rights Comission. All the best, Ralph
