STOP THIS CRIMINAL WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS
In a democracy there can be no room whatsoever to foment any VIP culture. With those red beacons now long gone, it’s time to stop the crores being very high-handedly squandered on providing police security for Ministers and their kin. It’s a needless and absolute drain on the State exchequer. Politicians who are apprehensive about their […]
TIME TO FREE GOA FROM IFFI (INTERNATIONAL FRAUD FESTIVAL OF INDIA)
In 2004 then Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar did the people of Goa and Panaji in particular the biggest disservice by consenting to host the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in the State. For the last 15 years it has been a 10 day annual nightmare faced by Goans in the hosting of IFFI which […]
GOD SAVE RIBANDAR
The least that what was expected from this government which has over the years miserably failed to address the grave issue of garbage disposal, was to ensure that the solemn areas around our Temples, Mosques and Churches are kept serene and tidy at all times. It is absolutely nauseating and repulsive that the Corporation of […]

GOVT MUST PERFORM OR PERISH
The Goa government cannot abdicate in its bounden duty to at least provide the citizens their basic needs. Uninterrupted power and water supply besides good roads are the least we are all entitled too. With the basic infrastructure of the State in the dumps we are left with dry taps and frequent power outages. The […]
POLITICIANS SHOULD LAY THEIR HANDS OFF THE JUDICIARY
Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer had so very rightly said “Even so, the creed of judicial independence is our constitutional ‘religion’ and, if the executive use Article 222 to imperil this basic tenet, the Court must ‘do or die’ If the Judiciary is reduced to a mouth piece of the government, the Courts will lose all […]
NO ACCHE DIN FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Are those very dark days of that 1975 Emergency once again looming very large? Our Press, like the Judiciary, has to be free from political, governmental or any other interference whatsoever. In fact, it is the solemn professional duty of every journalist to be totally independent and unbiased with no leanings whatsoever towards any political […]
