[Goanet] dual citizenship
Antonio Menezes' view is eenlightening though he doesn't quote any legal references. However, he says he may be wrong. Taking into consideration his opinion, there seems a room for the Indian government to consider that registering births in Portugal doesn't necessarily confirm Portuguese citizenship on the person. However, one must also take the Indian constitutional veiw into consideration. This is for the centre to work out and may require dialogue with Portugla. Since the CM has approached the centre, we have to wait for the centre's move.l It's good of Antonio to give his view instead of someone whose mocking ways are well known on this forum. To him, a question must be answered by a question. The person can only call someone by names, something he's extremeldy good at. It would help the debate if lawyers on this forum weigh in with their opinions. Doctors of medicine must keep quiet unless they have something reliable and meaningful to say. I Eugene Correa
[Goanet] dual citizenship
All nations of the world maintain their own Registers of Civil Births in which a birth (within the boundaries of that nation ) is recorded automatically. It does not matter if the parents of the baby are its nationals or not. It also does not mean a baby is automatically a citizen of that country, unless this particular baby ( born to foreign parents) on attaining adult age claims for himself/herself the citizenship of the country where he/she was born. It has been my belief all this time ( and I could be wrong) that the Portuguese had left Goa in a hurry and had no time carry along with them copies of the Registers of Births ( that have taken place before 19th December, 1961) they maintained in Panjim, Margao, Vasco and Mapusa and hence Goans were at liberty to re-register their births in the Goa related Civil Births Registers now maintained in Lisbon. It is my personal opinion that mere re-registration in Lisbon of births taken place in Goa prior to 19th December, 1961 does not necessarily mean that one becomes a Portuguese citizen. One has to apply further for a Cartao de Cidadado (something alike our Identity Card for voting purposes) and based on this Cartao one could apply for a Portuguese passport if one wishes.

[Goanet] Natural speed breaker
NATURAL SPEED BREAKER The junction of 4 cross roads at Dandeavado, Chinchinim on NH 17 is totally a blind spot to the motorists, It has been a site of many deadly and fatal accidents in the past and continues to be so even today,The NGO`s and the Chinchinim Deussua Panchayat have made repeated requests for this much needed facility . The junction is a dangerous blind spot and and a crossing point for many school children on their way, When actually the PWD descended on the scene to execute ,some vested interest prevailed upon them to block it . One wonder how the PWD could relent to private individual and decide not to implement it. To day there are hordes of cattle sometimes numbering 100 plus, which serve as a natural speed breaker. It will be unfortunate when motorists trying to dodge this menace may further lead to accidents, The cattle are having a free run on NH 17 with no one to care Nelson Lopes Chinchinim Click h

[Goanet] Ensure swift, decisive and legal action against political intimadation and assault by Maharashta MP Against Navghar Police
URGENT PRESS STATEMENT POLICE REFORMS WATCH Networking with Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI), New Delhi 43, Kalina, Santacruz East, Mumbai - 400 029. l Tel : 98202 26227 Email : policereformswa...@gmail.com l www.humanrightsinititiative.org 29/08/14 URGENT PRESS STATEMENT ENSURE SWIFT, DECISIVE AND LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE POLITICAL INTIMIDATION AND ASSAULT BY MAHARASHTRA MP AGAINST NAVGHAR POLICE, Press Statement Police Reforms Watch & the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative Mumbai, August 29, 2014 Police Reforms Watch and the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative condemn the brazen and unlawful actions of BJP Member of Parliament (MP) from Mumbai Kirit Somaiya against the Navghar police, and demand swift action in this clear case of political intimidation and assault. It is commendable that the police withstood the reported pressure in this matter and filed an FIR under IPC sections 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter a public servant from doing his duty), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter a public servant from his duty) and 506 (criminal intimidation). It is imperative that the police continue to follow through, making sure this case is swiftly and properly investigated. Mr Somaiya allegedly entered Mulund (East) police station in response to his BJP party workers, Parikshit Dhume and Vinod Khedekar, being summoned by the police in connection with a case of unlawful assembly registered in April. According to press reports, Somaiya confronted Inspector Sampat Munde alleging that his party workers were summoned without his being informed, threatened and assaulted him, and then left with his party workers in tow. Any attempt to prevent or deter a public servant from doing his/her duty including use of criminal force and assault is an offence under the law and punishable up to three years of imprisonment. As part of investigative powers, the police have the authority to require someone to appear before them if they have reasonable grounds to believe the person has committed a cognizable offence. In this case, the police were simply doing their duty by summoning the BJP (and NCP) workers to question them in connection with the case at hand. Mr Somaiya’s actions are a blatant disregard of police’s lawful authority. Dolphy D’Souza, Convenor, Police Reforms Watch, says, “There is a vital principle in law that no one can interfere with police investigation. This principle cannot have exceptions based on favouritism or power. Obstructing investigation is a crime and must be treated as such in all cases, whether it is by an MP or a common citizen. The police will not be able to do a professional job and serve the people if they are intimidated by their local politicians”. This incident speaks of blatant political interference in policing. In bad tidings for Maharashtra, the recently passed Maharashtra Police (Amendment and Continuance) Act 2014 entrenches near total political control over the police. This law leaves the police at the mercy of politicians, and fails to put in place the police-politician relationship fit for a democracy. This case must be dealt with by effective investigation which is by the book. Any delay will indicate the weakness of the police and the abuse of position of the legislator. As concerned groups, we stress that this is not an issue of one institution against another or the supremacy of one over the other, but singularly about the primacy of law over all who live in India.

[Goanet] mialing list
I don't understand why someone would want to collect the email of a person without permission and add to a mailing list that has its own agenda.I am talking of a list which is notorious for distributing anti-Indian stuff and propaganda. It okay for such person to operate a list for like-minded persons A few people whose names were added without their knowledge had requested to be removed but their names still appear. I think the people have given Since the list has no name, it isn't easy to block it. One has to block all the people on the list. If the person feels happy to repeat ad nauseam the same thing about Nehru's promise, etc. I think the fight should be done through the elected representative or pressure groups in Goa. Now that Special Status has got received a setback, it must be kept alive. There are two groups fighting for it. One of the groups is closely associated with Alina Saldanha. More than hoping for plebiscite, which was promised by the government of the day, Goa is in the same boat as J&K. In one way Goa differs from J&K is that the latter has been given special status because of its geographical and political situations. Those who are pro-Portuguese must join hands or forces with the groups fighting for Special Status. I feel that's the way forward. No point in looking back and trying to educate the list members that Goa's freedom was "illegal" and that the Indian government has failed to honour its promise. As far as I can see this government or any future government will not go back and so one must forget that plebiscite will ever take place. A new generation of post-colonial Goans has sprung up and many of them are interested in their future instead of looking back at its political past.When I say future, I mean getting good jobs in Goa, which are few, or moving to UK under Portuguese passports or to other foreign lands or rest of India. The craze for Portuguese passports may be among Catholic Goans. One can't fault them as they have the opportunity for it. Some have said Goa will be lost. But there are Hindu Goans who are not so keen on Portuguese passports, and they can be counted upon to save Goa for Goans. The Goa government should work to have laws that erect barriers for migrants, which is one of problem for which Special Status was sought for. Let's hope the government comes with some laws, instead of expanding its energies on dual citizenship. The government isn't blind to see Goa run over by outsiders. Solve this problem within the framework of the Constitution first/ Eugene Correia

http://www.epaperoheraldo.in/Details.aspx?id=7598&boxid=165458140&uid=&dat=8/28/2014 Amita Kanekar writes, "Not only do most of our schools, colleges and universities fall far short of the touted ideals of education, many already excel at pandering to Hindu religious beliefs, with the organization of brahmanical Hindu festivals within the campus, and upper caste Hindu religious icons permanently installed there. And the less said about their predilection for quietly side-stepping reservation quotas, therein further disadvantaging OBC and SC/ST applicants, the better. This step is in fact an open admission of their quasi-brahmanical tendencies." I think she was quite kind in not naming other reilgions who do more or less the same thing except that they replace the Brahminical icons with those of the Christian or some other religion. But I I agree with her that at least Government institutions should avoid taking this chauvinistic route and instead stick with a more neutral word. Given that Pernem is one of those areas which has a large OBC population if at all they wished to name the college then the modern day OBC leader Dayanand Bandodkar would have been the obvious choice. But besides the scramble to privilege one's own caste or political party (the indoor stadium built near Goa University which is named after Shyama Prasad Mukherjee or the numerous ones named after Congress leaders for example) Kanekar makes the more serious point made that all these symbolic gestures only result in more hurt inflicted on backward castes . The denial of reservation quotas to those who have been disadvantaged for centuries continues to injure and also insult them. To conclude, I hope that in future the Government sticks to the practice of naming institutions that they start as simply Govt School or Govt College and instead concentrate on addressing the injustices done to the backward communities.

[Goanet] dual citizenship
In an article, possibly last year, I had said that that the Goans holding Portuguese passports must be give an amnesty. There seems to be no solution otherwise. The citizenship issue is a conflict between two nations. The registration of birth in Portugal means the person is a Portuguese citizen even if the person has an Indian passport. It also means that perosn loses his Indian citizenship as per the Indian Constitution. No doubt the CM wants to save Glen Ticklo and Caitu D'Silva. It remains to be seen if the centre listens to the CM. Not sure if this may need Consituiional Amendement. If such a bill is troducted in Parliament it will create a big uprorar and the Opposition will go hammer and tongs against the government. Since the BJP has a majority, it would help in passing the bill.The former centre governments, including the BJP under Vajpayee, had opposed dual citzienship on various grounds. We have to see how the bill is worded. If the centre says that registration a birth in Portugal is okay as long as the person doesn't have Portuguese passports means it is contrary to Portuguese laws. Will the Portuguese then strke off the names of these people from its registers? If this happens will it affect those family members who got Portuguese passport on the criteria that the father's birth was registered in Portugal? One awaits the outcome of this Constitutional problem. Eugene

[Goanet] WILL THE CM REIN IN THE AG?
Advocate General of Goa Atmaram Nadkarni has managed to arm twist the Law Secretary not to respond to the queries raised by Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) on the very high fees being paid to him. After making a comparative study with other States, CAG through two reminders has sought an urgent explanation and justification from the Goa Government on the extremely high fees being paid to Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni. Goa Government paid Atmaram Nadkarni by way of fees and other allowances a whopping Rs 2,055,9032 (two crores fifty five lakhs nine thousand and thirty two rupees) for the two years from March 2012 to March 2014. The Government also spent a further Rs 10,14,869 (ten lakhs fourteen thousand eight hundred and sixty nine rupees) on the airfare for the 17 trips made to Delhi by Atmaram Nadkarni from January 2013 to March 2014 by Business class while even the Chief Minister travels Economy class. Goa despite being the smallest state is not only hosting India's highest paid Advocate General but the country's highest paid public servant too. The President of India gets Rs 1,50,000 a month, the Chief Justice of India Rs 1,00,000 and a High Court Judge Rs 80,000. But Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni pockets up to a whopping eight lakhs a month besides Rs 75,000 a day on his every visit to Delhi. This is nothing short of a day light criminal loot and plunder of the State’s exchequer. The post of Advocate General is not to make money. Persons have held it for honour by getting paid even a token Re 1 per month. If Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has any valid and tenable justification for these high fees being swallowed by the Atmaram Nadkarni he should place it before CAG and see the response. Atmaram Nadkarni by his acts of commission and commission has taken the high constitutional post of Advocate General to the gutters. Alike the politicians he even got the public to sponsor the expenses of his 50th birthday which was hosted at the Taj Fort Aguada in Sinquerim. Professional ethics demands that a person occupying the high and solemn constitutional post as Advocate General should never appear for a private party in a case where the government is directly or even indirectly a party. Once appointed as Advocate General he cannot have a penchant for raking in the moolah by any unholy means. The Advocate General is a very high Constitutional authority and should never be someone who has a lust and greed for wealth or having vested interest with any lobby but has always to ensure the State’s best interests at heart. As a role model to the legal fraternity he has to uphold impeccable integrity and the highest ethical standards. He being an important functionary in the legal system and in the dispensation of justice, his conduct at all times must be absolutely beyond any shadow of doubt.
