Very well done is what we say to Shri. Ramesh Gauns and co. for persisting
in this fight to save Goa from the mining mafia.
It is aparent by virtue of Mr. Sujay Gupta making out the report indicting
Shri Shyamsundar Pundalik Naik of Varchavadda, Advalpal for taking a packet
for cultural activities from a mine owner. Now that he got the fitting
reposte as to why the money was given out and how it was disbursed, there
will be a counter offensive against the people once again.
We however cannot but think that the vested interests will come up with
something like " a large cache of explosives, detonators, hand granades and
Koitas etc have been unearthed in a raid in the jungles of Colamb or Satari
or wherever just to pin the fake naxalite theory in the minds of the people.
And the Goa police will be doing such a bidding from the powerful vested
interests, especially when the seeds have been sown by the enterprising LOO
Shri. Manohar Parrikar and over-anxiously supported by the Goa Pradesh Youth
Congress.
But the people of Goa have already made up their minds on the identity of
the enemy of the State and will not be fooled, however much they may try.
The Goa Su-Raj Party warns these vested interests that it is in their own
interest that they should desist from all these primitive antics because
they will be only fooling themselves. They must remember the Satari
incidence and never ever forget it.
