'If even the Member of Parliament Shripad Naik was suited and booted for that inaugural function of the Lusofonia Games, why could not Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar dress to the occasion? If he cannot afford one he can hire the suit or I could give away one from my wardrobe to keep Goa’s flag flying high at least for the closing ceremony of those games scheduled for January 29th. Please let me know Mr.Chief Minister. If you have misplaced my number its 9822684372. COMMENT: 1: Aires' comment is totally out of order. 2: A man has every right to attire himself in simple clothes as long as he is not indecently exposing himself. 3; I absolutely support Mr. Parrikar's decision on his own dress code. Aires' disgraceful comment reminds me of the one made by Churchill (not the Fatorda one) "It is alarming and also nauseating to see Mr. Gandhi, a seditious middle temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir of a type well known in the east, striding half-naked up the steps of the viceregal palace, while he is still organizing and conducting a defiant campaign of civil disobedience, to parley on equal terms with the representative of the king-emperor." - Winston Churchill, 1930 jc
