| Close to the heels of arrests of Shamsuner Naik and Vijay Vijay Pandluskar by Bicholim Police at the instance of Sesa Goa mining company yesterday, the company today again tried to dig the village space of cremetorium and water pond. The Sesa Goa mining company officials and labourers were chased away from the site by the villagers. The modus operandi of the mining company is very clear : Release the Bicholim police on the Advalpal villagers and then dig up the village for Iron Ore. The battle is on. it remains to be seen as to how long Goa Police is going to function as the lackey of the notorious mining companies. of course things can go on indefinably as Sesa Goa has paid enough on record in their annual report: Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) Rs. 28 lakhs, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Rs. 28 lakhs, Save Goa Front (SGF) Rs.5 Lakhs, Maharastrawadi Gomatak Party (MGP) Rs.5 lakhs, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Rs. 5 Lakhs and Shiv Sena Rs.1 Lakh. This will ensure that none of these Political Parties will speak up for Advalpal or any other village while mining company goes on its rampaging mission. Advalpal can become a mining pit. Who cares? Goa government is ruled from the mining pits - ruling parties as well as the opposition! Sebastian Rodrigues |
