Adv. Aires Rodrigues has today sought the intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issue of Goa Governor P.S.

GOA GOVERNOR PILLAI NEEDS TO DO SOME SOUL-SEARCHING
It is appalling that Goa Governor P.S. Sreedharan Pillai chose to grab that so-called Honoris Causa PH.D degree from an unrecognized and little known Logos University International which is an unaccredited private university in Florida founded only in 2006. It was incumbent for Governor Pillai to ascertain credentials and repute of that University as he […]
IT WAS 50% AND NOW AGAIN 50%
In the 70’s and 80’s our Goa witnessed student agitations on various issues but the one that swept Goa by a fiery storm was that 1979 campaign for 50% bus concession. The student unity being rock solid, the agitation spread like wildfire, lasted a brief 12 days and secured the desired results. It was that […]
GOVERNMENT EXTRAVAGANCE AT TAXPAYERS EXPENSE 
We now know that a whopping Rs 24,96,500 was spent on that two day training workshop for MLAs held on June 27th & 28th last year at Taj Vivanta in Panjim. But we need to know how this event benefited our legislators, especially the 19 first time MLAs. One wonders why this training could not have been […]
LIFE IS A JOURNEY NOT A DESTINATION
While reflecting on the past, taking stock of the present and mapping out the future, thanks to everyone who has been part of my life’s roller coaster journey. Firstly, it is to all those who corrected me and put me back on the right track when I faulted and erred. To all my dearest Teachers […]
IN A DEMOCRACY EVEN A DEATH THREAT SHOULD NOT SILENCE US
We all need to stand up for the truth in these times when threats are so rife. All that flowery oratory and pep talk by this Government over the last ten years has not taken our nation forward. In fact our once great country is falling to pieces. Mere preaching that the nation must progress […]
AN ACID TEST FOR CHIEF MINISTER PRAMOD SAWANT
If Chief Minister Pramod Sawant thinks that he is only criticized, then he has given us the perfect opportunity to congratulate him for something good that he is contemplating. His laudable decision to do away with all those needless government corporations is indeed a brave and welcome decision. But as always, the proof of the […]
IN GOA FIRE LIGHTERS HAVE OVERTAKEN FIRE FIGHTERS
It’s well over a week and the inexplicable fires in Goa are raging with our natural habitat being eternally destroyed and laid to rest. Those vicious perpetrators of this man-made ecological disaster will never be forgiven. They may get away with their political blessings but the Almighty will never spare these thugs from that ruthless […]
SILLY SOULS SAGA – INSPIRATION FOR A GOAN TIATR?
God and the whole world (especially the Goan Diaspora) knows that though the Excise licence was in the name of Anthony De Gama that the controversial ‘Silly Souls Café and Bar’ in Assagao was being run by the family of Union Minister for Women and Child Development Smriti Irani. In reality by Eightall Food and […]
A LONG OVERDUE RIGHT DECISION
The Goa Government has taken a very sensible decision to wind up all the non-performing and non- profitable State run corporations. While there are fully fledged departments to undertake their respective tasks, over the years parallel pointless Corporations have been created solely to rehabilitate politicians and allow them to merrily enjoy free perks and privileges at […]
