This needs to be condemned by all in unequivocal terms. When even the Congress Government's membership is not safe for speaking out against the corruption, criminalisation and unchecked anti-people stand then how would the common man in Goa be safe for speaking out on the shocking state of affairs in Goa? It's time we had President's Rule in Goa as the Goa Government clearly has lost the ability to heed the voice of the people and no one is safe in Goa!
We strongly urge the Governor of the State as well as the Prime Minister and the President of India to intervene in the sorry state of affairs in Goa. No one is safe in Goa anymore as the Government of Goa along with the Government machinery is only about protecting its nefarious scheming and dealing with drug dealers, criminal elements, mining lobbies, real estate, casino and Hotel lobbies. We have the most disgraceful bunch of politicians in Goa today that are all working to destroy Goa and Goans! Our politicans, police force and Government machinery in Goa are stongly in the grip of criminal and anti-Goan elements and they are all out to protect these vested interests to the detriment of Goa and Goans!

Politicians shocked at attack on Congressman Julyly 2010 10:03:08 by IANS ( 1 comment )
Panaji, July 24 (IANS) Politicians across party lines Saturday reacted with shock and disgust over the brutal assault on a National Students Union of India (NSUI) leader who has been lobbying for a central probe into the police-politician-drug mafia nexus in Goa.
Sunil Kauthankar, the young Congress leader, lost his teeth and received several facial lacerations after unidentified people assaulted him with a huge stone Friday night.
This was less than a week after he complained to Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi about senior policemen and ruling politicians sabotaging the drug nexus probe.
“We hope Rahul Gandhi realises that one of his young leaders has been attacked for supporting a public good,” Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) general secretary Govind Parvatkar told IANS.
“The BJP had endorsed the campaign started by Kauthankar for a federal probe in Goa’s drug nexus,” he said.
“We are seeing a lawlessness, experienced never before, in this Congress regime. Young Congress leaders are being attacked for raising their voice against an evil like drugs, when their own government is in power,” Parvatkar said.
State youth Congress president Sankalp Amonkar said the police should arrest Kauthankar’s assailants or face a state-wide agitation.
“The police should do a thorough job. This is not something we will sit quiet about. We will not tolerate such attacks on our people,” Amonkar said.
Congress president Subhash Shirodkar also condemned the attack, saying he would personally take up the matter with Chief Minister Digambar Kamat.
“What has happened is sad and unfortunate. I will speak to the chief minister on the issue, as the home minister (Ravi Naik) is ill,” Shirodkar said.
Kauthankar was lobbying for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the police-politician-drug mafia nexus in the state.
The opposition has already demanded a CBI probe into the matter, in which Naik’s son Roy has been linked by the Israeli media.
Kauthankar, who had started a signature campaign demanding a central probe in the drug scandal, had also sought the arrest of a key Crime Branch official, who he said was linked to the drugs mafia.
