The SEZ Virodhi Manch (SVM) strongly condemns the statements of the Union Commerce Minister, Mr. Kamal Nath who wants Goa government to allow developers of three notified SEZs to set up some other industry on the land allotted to them. The SVM warns the CM Digambar Kamat, MP Shantaram Naik and others of facilitating the entry of the SEZs through the back door.
Since 22 October 2007, complaints were filed at various Police Stations, against the fraud of the process of application and approval of SEZs. Time and again, the SVM has used documents procured (under RTI) from the GIDC to uncover the illegal and immoral scam of the SEZs in Goa.
The SVM has also exposed the malafide intentions and actions of the Government of Goa which is only paying lip service to the opposition of the Goans to the menace of SEZs. It is obvious that the Government is seeking to make a fool of all the Goan people who have unanimously opposed SEZs in Goa.
The SVM also demands that the Government should not enter into any deal with any of the developers who have committed illegal acts to get their SEZs approved or notified. On the contrary, the SEZ promoters should compensate the concerned villages for the destruction committed by them and they should also face the penalty and punishment for subverting and manipulating the laws of the land.
The SVM warns the Governments at the State and at the Centre to not cheat the people of Goa on the issue of SEZs. The SVM resolves to get back to the streets to remind the politicians and the SEZ promoters that the SEZs in any form, will not be permitted to enter Goa.
Yours truly,
Charles Fernandes
Convenor - SVM
