MORE ON MAHANANDA NAIK.

Home Minister To Challenge Court Verdict.

It is very ominous to note that Goa’s law and order machinery getsjammed at almost every junction. People of Goa are baffled atMahanand’s seven acquittals. If all that was printed on the newspapers was the truth, what actually has gone wrong with theinvestigation or the trial of Mahanand Naik ? If infact Mahanand isthe serial killer, them he must be laughing off his ears at thestupidity of the law and order machinery of Goa as he is beingacquitted with impunity on every count and other similar psychos mustbe licking their lips and planning some more gruesome acts.

People’s faith in the Goan system is thinning by the day, as we readand hear criminals going scott-free, and our men in uniform seem to beclueless about the crime or the criminals. Even if they are lucky tofind one, then there are overwhelming chances that the person will getacquitted or disappear into thin air. So far, their efforts have beenclumsy, comical and amateurish. That’s the reason why crime rate isvery high in Goa, and the apathy of the government to restore parityis very much overt.

The acquittals of Mahanand have been based on insufficient proof orlack of concrete evidence and it’s droll to watch our Home Ministertrying to challenge the verdicts of the lower courts, is he reallyserious about solving this case or is he just trying to find ascapegoat or is he trying to restore his lost pride ? This are someobvious questions in the minds of people.

Our Home Minister once had said that there were no drugs in Goa whichvery soon showed the ubiquitous nature of his stupidity, when aninternational drug smuggler was caught and let loose as he justconveniently and conspicuously vanished into thin air right beforetheir eyes, only to surface in another country, wasn’t that theresponsibility of the Home Ministry ? Has any action been takenagainst the responsible ? It makes one wonder if Dudu disappeared onhis own or asked to disappear as he could have opened the pandora boxand put the Home Minister in a fix.
Our Goan police seem to be efficient enough only to clean and clearany evidence for the elite and apprehend and harass people who areraising their voices against mining and mega housing, for their rightto live a decent life, whereas criminals, rapists, killers and drugsmugglers just get acquitted or disappear into thin air.

Our Home Ministry looks like an oversized sumo wrestler trying to findhis own zipper, he knows it’s there but he can neither see it nortouch it.
