Re: [Goanet] Manohar Parrikar was right in being whistle-blower
Probably Manohar Parrikar doesn't know the difference between 'a Social Activist' and a 'Naxalite'. Shame on you Parrikar-- this was not expected of you. Instead of putting wrong labels on honest and hardworking people, and hobnobing with the mining cohorts, Parrikar should do something concrete for the poor people stampeded by the mining Bulls.

[Goanet] Manohar Parrikar was right in being whistle-blower
At the meeting of the Goa Legislative Assembly Ad Hoc Committee on Home, the chairman is expected to discuss maters related to the Home department with the police. On a blog, a well known anti-mining activist claimed to have contacts with naxals from Jharkhand. Among other aspects of crime in Goa the chairman raised this point. His question to the police was as simple as "Are you aware of this?". The police agreed that they were indeed aware of this and would keep a watch. All this has been recorded in camera. If the anti-mining agitation has the potential to get violent, it needs to be corrected. That was the only intention behind raising this point. No accusation was made against anybody from his own imagination. His source was a blog created by Seby Rodrigues himself. This was submitted to the police. It is now for the police to investigate and for Seby to explain. The matter was important enough to be brought up in the meeting. If terrorist activities start even on a small scale we never know what they might blow into if not checked in time. Several groups in Bihar, Jharkhand, AP are examples of strife that started against attrocities and have now turned into terrorist organisations. We never know which group might tap the opportunity of the anti-mining agitation and spread its wings in Goa. Parrikar conducted a press conference on Monday 23rd June. Here is a report in Gomantak(Marathi): http://www.dainikgomantak.com/Gomantak/06242008/NT0004A62A.htm The reactions to Parrikar's comments are pretty surprising. As a rough analogy, imagine a father finding his son active on a website that has anti-social content. He may be involved in social causes as well. If the father asks his wife to keep a watch on him, what wrong does he do by being the whistleblower? Probably I am giving a bad analogy assuming that the readers on this group are mature enough to understand the point I am trying to make. I would beg to be corrected if I have my facts wrong.
