 CHURCHILL PRESENCE UNWELCOME AT GOAN FESTIVAL LONDON

by N. Fernandes, London

On 22nd July, Goans from around the UK, and many from around the world too arriving for the London Olympics, will be celebrating "The Goan Festival 2012".  This Festival, is intended to bring Goans together, re-unite with one another and to celebrate everything that is good and great about Goans, especially its Culture and its rich heritage. It is also a Fun day for everyone.  It is also a Festival, to introduce and remind children, born of Goan parentage, in the UK, of their ancestral heritage.

 

There is a myth, that Children born of Goan Parentage in the UK are totally disconnected from Goa. But I can confirm that this notion or belief is untrue. There are many elements of Goan culture and heritage that is imbibed in Goan Children from an early age. I have never met one that has ever denied being Goan. Many have a two tone lifestyle. But their customs & traditions are undeniably Goan

 

On the assumption, that the Alemao Clan, a Cancerous Goan family, headed by Churchill Alemao and a very fake, artificial and dishonest Valanka Alemao are still in London, there is no doubt that they will be keen to be present at the Goan Festival.

 

The sole and only purpose of the Alemaos, to be present for this festival, is not to promote Goa and its culture, but to promote them-selves. This promotion is for consumption and use, back in Goa.

 

Thankfully Goans in the UK, do not hold the Alemaos in high esteem. At best many do not even know this family. At worst, they are of total insignificance and nondescript to many .Those that are aware, view the Alemaos as Goan Criminals. Older and elderly generation Goans call the Alemao`s "CRIMDORS"

 

The chief promoter of the Alemaos, should they go to this Festival ,will be none other than the high profile, tainted & scandal ridden Goan MP, Keith Vaz. Should anyone read Forums on UK News websites, they will observe and learn that Keith Vaz is disliked by 99% of the population. No one has any kind words to say about him. Keith Vaz has several scandals, attached to his name.

 

Many Goans are now wondering, if Keith Vaz has any devious and ulterior motive in associating with the Alemaos. Many Goans are questioning, whether Keith Vaz is feigning ignorance of the Crimes committed by the Alemaos in Goa. Is Keith Vaz totally oblivious, to the reasons of defeat, of the Alemaos at the recent elections, having campaigned for them, in a very hot & sunny Goa, in his suit? Is Keith Vaz`s ears and eyes, only tuned to one frequency, to receive only information from the Alemaos, ignoring all other Goans.

 

At the point of writing this article, I can imagine, should the Alemaos go to the Goan Festival, along with their UK Chamcha Keith Vaz, they will use the occasion to maximum benefit, to milk every possible opportunity, mostly photographic, for their self- promotion, back in Goa. This is one of their chief methods of deceiving poor and ordinary Goans, of their deluded grandeur, in Goa.

 

Niz Goenkar website, along with Goan Voice UK, has a huge readership of Goans in the UK. Many of them will be aware of the Alemaos and their total corruptness and destruction of Goa.

 

Let's all hope that the Goan Festival London, will not be turned into a "CHURCHILL FESTIVAL-LONDON", accompanied by their circus of clowns, headed by Keith Vaz.

 

While Goa is being destroyed from all sides, our highest accolades and honour must go to the likes of, Carmen Miranda.

 

Let (Goa`s) sleeping dogs (Churchill & Vaz) lie.

 

 

GOVERNOR URGED NOT TO ADMINISTER OATH TO DR PRADEEP PADWAL AS SIC

 By Aires Rodrigues


Goa Governor Mr. P.V.Wanchoo has been urged not to administer the oath of office to Dr. Pradeep Padwal as State Information Commissioner inview of a Supreme Court order last week.

Dr Pradeep Padwal who was appointed as State Information Commissioner on 19th July would assume office only after being administered oath of office by the Governor.

In a letter to Governor Wanchoo it has been pointed out that the Supreme Court on 19th July has directed the government not to appoint any more information commissioners till it decides on the plea making it mandatory that Information Commissioners be persons with a judicial background.

A Bench of the Honourable Supreme Court comprising Justices A K Patnaik and Swatanter Kumar passed the order to this effect while reserving its judgment on the petition by Mr. Namit Sharma challenging the validity of the appointments of Information commissioners with no knowledge and experience of law and without a judicial background.

The issue being now under the consideration of the Supreme Court it would not be appropriate for the Governor to administer the oath of office to Dr. Pradeep Padwal as State Information Commissioner.

The Right to Information Act requires that the Information Commissioner should have wide knowledge and experience of law. Dr. Pradeep Padwal had no knowledge and experience in law whatsoever and obviously no judicial background.

The State Information Commissioner would be drawing a salary equivalent to that of the Chief Secretary of around Rs 1, 20,000 a month. It is therefore important to ensure that the person appointed did not become a liability and embarrassment to the State for five long years.

The Right to Information Act being a vital evolving law it is imperative that the Information Commissioner be a person with a very sound legal background as was rightly mandated in the RTI Act itself.

LEGAL NOTICE SERVED ON CHIEF SECRETARY DEMANDING REVOCATION OF APPOINTMENT OF DR. PADWAL AS SIC.

by Aires Rodrigues

A legal notice has been today served on the Chief Secretary of Goa
giving the Goa Government 48 hours to revoke the appointment of
Dr.Pradeep Padwal as the State Information Commissioner.

It has been demanded that the in public interest the illegal and
high-handed appointment of Dr. Padwal as State Information
Commissioner be revoked as it was not in accordance with the Right to
Information Act.

Pointing out that Section 15(5) of the Right to Information Act
requires that the Information Commissioner should have wide knowledge
and experience of law, the notice has alleged that Dr Padwal had no
knowledge and experience in law whatsoever and also did not possess
the eminence required for the position.

The State Information Commissioner would be drawing a salary
equivalent to that of the Chief Secretary of around Rs 1, 20,000 a
month,. It was important to ensure that the person appointed did not
become a liability and embarrassment to the State for five long years.

The Right to Information Act being a vital evolving law it was
imperative that the State Information Commissioner be a person with a
very sound legal background as was rightly mandated in the RTI Act
itself.

The State Information Commission needs to be totally free from
political control or manipulation and be presided by persons of
eminence and competence as required by the Right to Information Act.
