Centre will not enforce SEZs: CM
HERALD REPORTER
PANJIM, NOV 19
Chief Minister Digamabar Kamat today said that the Centre will not force the Special Economic Zones on Goa against the wishes of the citizens of the state.“During my visit to Delhi I met the Industries Minister Anand Sharma and the Industries Secretary and reminded them about the de-notification of three SEZs, which were earlier notified in Goa,” Kamat told reporters.
He said the Goa government has withdrawn the controversial SEZ policy and hence there is no question of any SEZs making entry through backdoor.
Asked why was the delay in de-notifying SEZs as the State had decided to scrap them almost two years ago, Kamat said, “The SEZs cannot be de-notified overnight and the government has to study the legal implication which I know they are doing.”
“The Centre will not force the SEZ against the wishes of Goans,” he said. He said the AICC president Sonia Gandhi too has assured the Goans that SEZs will not be forced on them.
