SVM holds demonstration INSIDE Goa Police Headquarters!
Over 200 villagers from Keri, Verna, Loutolim, Cortalim and elsewhere demonstrated for over three hours in the Headquarters of the Goa Police at Panaji. The print and video media were witness to the slogan shouting against the inaction of the Goa Police, in their own headquarters!
The SEZ Virodhi Manch activists (SVM) were demanding action of registering a FIR based on the complaint of the People’s Movement against SEZs (made on 22 October 2007). The criminal complaint was filed against fraud committed by the Board members of the GIDC and the promoters of SEZ. 151 pages of supporting evidence were attached to the complaint.
The Goa Police headquarters was the scene of slogan shouting and speeches. When tempers and slogans were raised, the DySP Mohan Naik was forced to address the crowd that he was avoiding.
Further IGP Kishen Kumar agreed to meet a delegation of SVM led by Charles Fernandes, Franky Monteiro, Pravin Sabnis, Arvind Bhattikar and Ramkrishna Jhalmi. The IGP stated that the inquiry was in progress but refused to give a deadline for registering the FIR. Condemning the attitude of the Goa Police, the SVM has threatened to intensify the agitation within a week if the FIR is not registered.
Also present were Dr Videsh Jhalmi (Keri Sarpanch), Remy Fernandes (South Goa Zilla Parishad member), Pratiksha Gawde, Alan Faleiro, Peter Gama, Br. Orville D’ Souza, Fr Simon Fernandes, Swati Kerkar and others
