Goa’s very tainted Tourism Minister Dilip Parulekar who is well embroiled
in a string of illegalities including the infamous Serula Communidade land
grab case and the Multi crore beach cleaning scam now finds himself
entangled in yet another controversory.
For not towing his corrupt line, the very malicious Dilip Parulekar has
last week abruptly shunted to South Goa the Assistant Tourism Officer
Jasmina Fernandes who was attached to the North Zone office at Panaji. This
very vindictive and illegal transfer is contrary to the Government’s own
Transfer policy as Jasmina Fernandes is reportedly due to retire in less
than two years.
Due to this ruthless and very spiteful act by Tourism Minister Dilip
Parulekar, this officer Jasmina Fernandes who has an unblemished record has
been compelled to knock the doors of the High Court seeking justice, with
the next hearing of her case scheduled for July 25th. The Director of
Tourism Sanjeev Gauns Dessai has reportedly confessed that this high-handed
transfer order was issued at the behest and directions of Tourism Minister
Dilip Parulekar.
It is extremely unfortunate that after having dedicatedly served the
government for decades, Jasmina Fernandes has had to move the Temple of
Justice to brave this overbearing treatment meted out to her. We need to
commend her for standing her ground and not having taking it lying down.
Tourism Minister Dilip Parulekar must be hauled up but the Director of
Tourism Sanjeev Gauns Dessai must also owe responsibility for having
inappropriately acted as a caged parrot and been party to such a cruel
illegality.
Less said the better on Dilip Parulekar’s gory tale from rags to riches but
he is one of the many politicians Goa would be better off without.
