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.
