MICKEY PACHECO & SALMAN KHAN.

 

While condemning  the lengthy judicial procedure to pronounce the final verdict on two prominent cases, one of Salman Khan and the other of Mickey Pacheco, I feel proud to state that Justice is still alive in India contrary to the opinion expressed by many disappointed Indians.  One thing is certain; to get justice one has to fight for it as Adv. Aires did against Mickey Pacheco.  Who ever thought Mickey Pacheco will face such a disgrace after 10 years of filing a case against him by an Engineer who in a Hitlerian manner was slapped by Mickey Pacheco?

 

What Mickey Pacheco thought of himself that he is the feudal lord to take law into his own hands? During Portuguese time some Bamonn Bhattkars used to deal with their poor Munddkars in a similar manner.  Just because Mickey  was the minister he cannot act like Saddam Hussein.  Even Saddam Hussein faced the wrath and faced the consequences of his sins he committed in Iraq. Good that Ministership is only a temporary phase and not a permanent job otherwise most of the Ministers and MLA’s especially the sons and grandsons of Ladru-Pedru like Micky would terrorise the society.

 

 

What is the opinion of Micky’s secretary/PA who complained of the Engineer to Mickey? Is he not responsible for the disaster of his boss?  These secretays and PA’s mostly coming from hoi-polloi background think too smart for themselves.  They should not put petrol in the fire and those who are  Christians they should be more tolerant in tune with their religious commandments. Otherwise they are disgrace on Christianity.

 

 

Coming back to Salman Khan, pride of money, name and fame has gone to his head making him numb to take care of his rash behavior.  His 5 years sentence may remain suspended for the time being but the peace of his life is totally shattered which will surely affect his future. This will be the biggest sentence passed on him because he has killed an innocent poor man.  His soul might have gone into heaven but Salman Khan’s body till he is alive will suffer as if he is dumped into the hell.

 

 

When Justice Sinha of Allahabad High Court passed his verdict against Indira Ghandi in 1975 by unseating her from the seat she was elected thru fraudulent means, the world hailed Indian judiciary as upright.  In the same way, once again Indian judiciary is hailed for its uprightness when judgement was passed against Mickey Pacheco and Salman Khan even though Khan’s judgment is still reviewable.  That they both with their mighty power failed to purchase the judgments in their favour itself is a big victory for Indian judiciary.

MISCHIEF IN HOTEL GOAN HERITAGE.

MISCHIEF IN HOTEL GOAN HERITAGE.

By: Special Correspondent.

Hotel Goan HERITAGE is the unique project of expatriate Goans built by the Goans working in Kuwait, about 30 years back.  The architect of this Hotel project built under Gulf Goans Hotels Company,  was the most dynamic Goan in Kuwait  in particular and in the Gulf in general,  Mr. Vincente D’Souza.  Since the establishment of GGHC and starting of the Hotel Goan Heritage at Ghauravaddo, Calangute,  it is the first time now that worst crisis are seen brewing in the company management.  During the last Board members election, according to the available information,  due to manipulation and chicanery by the Chairman and his cohorts, one of them is already expired recently, the results of the election is held in abeyance for ROC to take the final decision.  This final decision may take a long time but meantime four candidates contested the last election and declared elected first, are still  out  of the Board. 

In view of this, the Board is functioning almost half of its capacity thereby hampering the progress of the Hotel.  To make the matters worse, according to the information received, the idiotic minded Chairman Justin Fernandes from Saligao issued an instruction to the remaining Directors mostly belonging to the opposite camp NOT TO ENTER THE HOTEL PREMISES thus debarring them from participating in the decision making.

 In view of this, the Hotel and the company is managed by only two directors headed by the idiotic minded Chairman who is totally unfit to be in his position.  Physically he is sick suffering from different sicknesses including Cardiac arrest and mentally he is not very sound, he is almost 80 which means his mental faculty must have been corroded to be on that post.   Because of his sickness and inefficiency on the job in Kuwait he was not recalled by his Kuwait management after the liberation of Kuwait while even a Peon was recalled.   This man is ruining the progress of the Hotel, he is not interested in anything but only to receive his monthly emoluments of 50 thousand rupees with everything found including booze but minus official concubine. This man fit to be a Peon without proper educational and administrative background, by being the chairman is acting like a feudal lord. He cannot talk properly nor conduct meetings and yet shamelessly occupying the hot seat to be controlled thru remote control by another idiot director Wilson Coelho.

According to the latest information, Wilson Coelho who is a self-appointed deputy to the chairman without official sanction  is preparing the groundwork to give extension of another 5 years to that unfit “Mataro” Justine Fernandes with an increase in salary of Rs. 25,000/-.  Why this extension?  Is it to allow Wilson Coelho to grab full power of the Hotel management?  Are there no directors in the Board to occupy the Chairman’s post?  Shareholders must now rise in unison to oppose this move when this proposal comes to them in the next emergency general body meet in June 1^st week.  Shareholders must refuse their proxies for this extension.  Also the Shareholders  must now only think to throw out Wilson Coelho from the Board by knocking him down in the next election which is due very shortly. 

This Wilson Coelho is responsible to create a rift among Goans in Kuwait.  He was responsible to destroy  other Goan associations in Kuwait.  He is the most destructive man among all the Kuwait Goans.  He was a scandalous man involving in Sex and finance  scandals in Kuwait.  He is supported blindly by the highest shareholder from Kuwait Mr. Sam Alphonso who should be held responsible for all the wrong doings of Coelho.  Alphonso is a late comer in the hotel being a non-Goan from Karnataka.  He never supported the Goan movement in favour of Kuwait’s liberation when Kuwait was invaded by Iraq though he earned millions from Kuwait.  All are aware that he is ungrateful to Kuwait.  

The present Chairman along with Wilson Coelho is unable to increase the business by creating more Hotel Outlets as other Hoteliers are doing.  There is no improvement in the Hotel business since  the present shameless “Matharo”  Chairman took over  the Chairmanship.  His inefficiency  is a financial burden on the Hotel.  Since last two Board Meetings Chairman and Wilson are hiring the services of Bouncers to protect them,  from whom?  Are these two crook Board members so important to give them such a protection by paying exorbitant fees to the Bouncers?  Shareholders must know that company’s money is frittered away by these two who by no means should be kept in the Board because they are both cunning.

The shareholders if they want to protect their Hotel project and their investment then they must refuse extension to Chairman whose term expires very shortly and  secondly they must vote Wilson Coelho  out of the Board in the election due shortly. His one leg is in Canada and the other is in Goa, such persons should not be in the Board.  Outstation Shareholders must avoid giving their proxies in favour of extension to Justine Fernandes who being unfit will surely destroy Hotel Goan Heritage.  He is a shameless man.  At least his family members if they have any shame, must tell him to say bi-bi to the extension.   

GOA CHURCH - PLEASE BE TRULY GENEROUS.

As per the instruction from higher authority of the Goa Church, financial collection is to be done in all the Churches in Goa for the victims of Nepali Earthquake. It is a very good decision and everyone must contribute his mite in this collection.  According to the information, special Box is to be kept in the Church only for this collection while the normal Church collection will proceed uninterrupted.

 

 

Since Nepali Earthquake victims’ needs are greater, I feel at least one full Sunday’s collection collected from the faithful should be allocated only for Nepal Earthquake funds.  On this particular Sunday the normal Church collection should not be collected, instead the entire collection should be done for Nepal Earthquake victims only.

 

 

If Goa Church and its Bishop are so generous in support of Nepali victims then there must be a will to surrender one Sunday’s collection by the Church in favour of Nepali  Earthquake victims.  Multiple collections will be a burden on the faithful which the Goa Church must avoid.

 

 

Similarly, I am given to understand that money collection is underway for Baga Retreat House pathway to repair the damage done there.  It is my suggestion that here too the Churches from the surrounding villages must allocate the Church collections at least of 4 Sundays for this purpose.  On these 4 Sundays the surrounding Churches must surrender their collections in favour of Baga Retreat House.  Charity begins at home and Church must give the lead in this direction.
