GOA CM MUST DISCIPLINE POLICEMEN.


Once again the BJP government has failed in its duty towards its people almost during the last one whole week by shutting down all the food item selling outlets, the government without creating alternative arrangement given the brute power to the brute Policemen to act just like wild animals in handling cases even on humanitarian basis, not allowing the genuine persons to move freely even to go out to purchase their necessary things? Everybody is aware how 2 days back in front of Candolim Church, one Policeman has mercilessly with his Dando assaulted one local,  Damiao by name as declared by him. Later on as informed, he was examined by the Health Centre proving the correctness of this assault on the handicapped  Damiao.

What is wrong with our Policemen and why they act as Salazarist Police force in a very harsh manner? Is there no one to see this?  Where is our local MLA gone now?  As a people’s representative was it not his duty to enquire personally and give his verdict?  Where are all our contestants for ZP election gone now?  Why they have not, not a single of them, issued a statement on this  police action?            If they don’t involve now then after the election they will never bother to support the Damiaos.

Voters from my constituency now only do your assessment  on your candidates and move forward. We must campaign hard on this topic for people to know who is for us and who is not. 

CM Sawant  must give full confidence to the people that they will not encounter any hindrance from any authority especially from police force for those people who are going out to purchase their necessities.  Those who are supposed to protect law and order they must act decent and not like barbarians  during Salazar regime in Goa, a policeman cannot use filthy bad words nor use his danda, it is given to him to defend himself and not to use it wildly against  non-belligerent civilians. When policemen act “abuzad” unnecessarily then he brings bad name for  him & for his force.

GIVE FREEDOM TO PURCHASE ESSENTIALS.


This is to bring to the notice of all concerned  that what our Premier spoke on Wednesday the 25th of this month extending the Curfew to another 21 days was absolutely not a right decision without allowing the public to be ready for this.  It was done hurriedly without applying his mind properly or his advisers must have committed a goof.  Before the expiry of the then existing Curfew, suddenly  on Wednesday  the  Prime Minister came  with another extension effective 23.03.20 for the next 21 days.



It was understood  by us that when the then existing Curfew ends on 22.03.20 we would go to Bazar and purchase our necessary requirement especially the food items.  But without giving us sufficient space, our Premier came with a big jolt of 21 days Curfew – Lock down - which is to be maintained very rigidly by the Police personnel and since they are doing their jobs very rigidly even sometimes going out of the way, at some places as it was in Caandolim infront of the Church where one local Damiao was severely assaulted by the law and order protectors. Who gave the authority to the policeman to take the law into his own hands?  Are we still in Salazarist regime to act like  the brute and uncivilized Portuguese Pakles? All the concerned persons and authorities must investigate this matter and CM must answer how this has happened.  Can’t we go out to purchase our emergency medicines  ?




I am afraid that the law protectors may go out of their way and follow the Salazarist methods to punish irrelevantly the innocents. CM Sawant must give full freedom  to people to move freely to purchase their requirements   without any hindrance.
