[Goanet] Aires Rodrigues Esquire v Manohar Parrikar CM
One of which went into the recent black hole. Sent from Samsung Mobile Original message From: roland.francis roland.fran...@ymail.com Date: 08-01-2014 10:04 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994! goanet@lists.goanet.org Subject: Aires Rodrigues Esquire v Manohar Parrikar CM Aires Rodrigues, Goanet member and vocal legal activist has conducted several campaigns directly blaming Manohar Parrikar as head of government, for several wrongs of commission and omission. I don't know how successful he has been or whether he has made even a slight dent with these màtters but this much I know: he is going to have even less success in the future if a recent GOI case is anything to go by. In the public mind, the authority of last resort, going by the Constitution, is the Supreme Court of the country. But in the latest case before it, the Court has pleaded helplessness in deference to the Government in the case to which I refer below. GOI asked the court to fast-track criminal cases of pending charges against Members of Parliament. Simply put, the Chief Justice denied the request saying that fast tracking should not be exclusive to MPs but to other categories of cases as well. He observed that long delay of cases was a poor reflection of democracy in India (methinks that was stating the obvious). However, he also commented that there would have to be a change of administrative procedures and the need of placing a lot of related infrastructure in the smaller jurisdictions of the justice system in rural India. So much, so far, is true. But here's the kicker. Instead of requiring the Government to complete the task by a certain period within the parameters set by the court (as for example ordering that criminal cases should be brought before the courts within 3 years), the CJI instead pleaded helplessness to order the govt to do this due to the enormousness of the task and the availability of resources. This is a laughing matter since it encourages the Government of the day to just ignore or dance around the intentions of the courts as has been happening very often lately in the country. Now they have a formal remark of India's Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to support their inaction. Now tell me what chance Aires has against the CM even in a case where the courts have ruled in the former's favor. Is my interpretation of the situation correct in assuming that succour from the Indian justice system is merely 'touch and go', or do the courts in India really hold sway in correcting government wrongs and injustices.

[Goanet] AIRES RODRIGUES-Rescuing Goa's Health Care
AIRES RODRIGUES-Rescuing Goa's Health Care http://www.targetgoa.com/letterd.php?id=404 Aires has made quite a number of excellent points in his article. They are, as follows: 1: Goa’s Public Health care system is in dire straits. 2: Repeated political interference by successive state governments has been detrimental to Goa’s public health care. 3: GMC should aim at providing all the super specialty facilities so that patients should no longer have to travel to Belgaum, Bangalore and Mumbai for medical care that could be provided at Bambolim. 4: Goa Medical College is not a veterinary hospital. 5: Hospitals and health centres can never compromise on cleanliness and sanitation. Every head of the department should be made responsible and accountable for the overall state of his unit. 6: Serving in the medical field was supposed to be a mission with a passion. Unfortunately like most other professions the medical arena has too become a business venture with one goal. Vitamin 'M' all the way. However, he (Aires) has made the classic mistake common to many an 'outside-the-expertise' expert i.e. focus on the penthouse instead of the foundation. BTW: There is a distinct difference between Public Health Care (preventive) and Health Care provided to the public at tertiary centres; interconnected as they may be. I submit that 'autonomy' in the field of Preventive Care is an oxymoron. Preventive care, by necessity, needs Governmental intervention and support (different from political interference). As it is one of the dynamic areas of health, it also needs staffing by appropriately qualified, trained and experienced staff, with the Directors being ALSO well-read, and well-published physicians who update themselves rigorously and regularly at the national and international levels. I do not know why the Vitamin 'M' comment is being reserved only for doctors. When the whole society (including and especially lawyers) is driven primarily by Vitamin 'M', why pick only on the doctors. Are they the only ones who are supposed to be on a 'mission with a passion'? Mark you, I'd suggest that it would be infinitely better for society as a whole IF every profession was on a 'mission with a heart' instead of a 'mission with a passion'. Passion, with all its benefits, is also the conduit for destructive activities such as Vengence and Crime. Aires adds: 'one has to cough up at times up to 50 lakhs if not more for a medical seat by way of capitation fee'. I believe that GMC does not offer seats by way of 'capitation fees'. Even so, if I was a resident of Goa, I would be more worried IF a sick patient was expected to pay a 'capitation fee' to certain 'office staff who may or may not be doctors', just to get admitted into hospital. jc --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---
[Goanet] Aires Rodrigues: The Fight will never end
17 Oct: Digital Goa. By Aires Rodrigues. Excerpts: My fight against injustice started quite early in life when at the age of 10, I met Goa's first Chief Minister late Dayanand Bandodkar to demand justice for my grandmother... My debut in public life began in 1979 when I was in the forefront of the very successful, 11 day State-wide student agitation that demanded a blanket 50% bus concession for all students... I have not shied away from pursuing a whole range of issues involving senior politicians to well-connected bureaucrats. Even the October 13th 2008 brutal attempt on my life at Ashok restaurant has not cowed me down... Full text, 2375 words, at http://www.digitalgoa.com/tag_article.php?id=317
[Goanet] Aires Rodrigues complains against Advocate General before the Bar Council
6 Jun: UNI. Social activist Advocate Aires Rodrigues has filed a complaint before the Bar Council against Goa's controversial Advocate General Mr Subodh Kantak for his alleged professional misconduct. The AG had sought to terminate the services of Special Public Prosecutors who were handling the prosecution of criminal cases against former Ministers who Mr Kantak had previously defended in various corruption-related cases. 452 words.

[Goanet] Aires Rodrigues files affidavit against Kantak alleging perjury
- Goanetter Francis Rodrigues (Vasco/Toronto) book launch in London, England @ the World Goa Day festivities on 15 Aug at 7pm Details http://www.konkanisongbook.com - Source: UNI (United News of India). Date 12 Aug. 2009. Excerpts: Social activist Advocate Aires Rodrigues has accused Goa's Advocate General Subodh Kantak of abetting perjury and conniving with Health Minister Vishwajit Rane to mislead the High Court on the factual position on Sec 506 of IPC. In a 21-page affidavit filed before Panjim bench of the Bombay High Court here yesterday, Mr Rodrigues stated that the Advocate General, being the principal law officer of the state, ought to have placed the correct facts before the High Court, even if they were not to the liking of the government. The Advocate General, instead of upholding high moral ethics in the profession as the leader of the Bar, had chosen to collude with the accused Minister by not only suppressing material facts from the Court, but also making suo moto recommendation about withdrawal of criminal cases under Sec 506 of IPC, he alleged. In his affidavit, Mr Rodrigues has also submitted that Health Minister Vishwajit Rane deliberately suppressed a very material fact that the investigation into the complaint against him was done pursuant to orders passed by the Judicial Magistrate, First Class at Panaji. While the issue of the chargesheet against the Health Minister was before the High Court, Mr Kantak on May 7 held a closed door meeting with Old Goa Police Inspector Gurudas Gawade and Public Prosecutor Winnie Coutinho to try and help the accused Mr Rane on account of his clout as a Minister, Mr Rodrigues said. In a 73-page chargesheet filed by the Old Goa Police, Mr Vishwajit Rane faces charges under sec 506 (II) of Indian Penal Code, which carries a punishment of imprisonment of seven years or fine, or both. Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Ms Sharmila Patil has directed Mr Vishwajit Rane to appear before her on September 14 to answer charges of having threatened to kill social activist Aires Rodrigues on July 31, 2007.

--- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html --- I am not surprised at Aires Rodrigues changing his stances. And I am surprised why others are suprised at his support of BJP. In his interview to Goa Today, he has said that the his Goa Bachao Andolyan (GBA) cannot remain political. Lot of secular-minded Goans would not want BJP back in power, however good it claims to be and however good is may have been during its short reign. The saffron colour and ardi charddi do not fit into the Goan secular environment. In Aries's about turn, the GBA should learn a lesson, though I am surprised why they encouraged such a person in the first place. Goa Today's Managing Editor Vinayak Naik has called him ever so dynamic. Probably an untrustworthy dynamo would have seemed apt. May his tribe increase.

[Goanet] Aires Rodrigues supports BJP; Tiatrists support SGF
--- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html --- Prominent GBA activists join political camps Even as the Goa Bachao Abhiyan convenor, Dr Oscar Rebello maintains that the GBA is apolitical, some of its prominent activists have joined the political campaigns. While some of the activists in South Goa including noted tiatrists, Wilmix Mazzarelo and Prince Jacob have joined the Churchill camp, some in the North Goa, including Mr Aires Rodgriues are now in the Bharatiya Janata Party camp. Another group of activists including former MPT chairman, Mr Arvind Bhatikar has been campaigning against the BJP and some viciously corrupt sitting MLAs of the Congress party. Mr Aires Rodrigues, addressing a press conference, this morning said that the people of Goa have to give the BJP a clear mandate at the forthcoming assembly polls to ensure that the state is steered out of the current rut of rampant corruption and administrative chaos. Informing that he would actively campaign for the BJP during next 13 days, Mr Rodrigues informed that he has written letters to the state BJP chief, Mr Shripad Naik and the leader of the opposition, Mr Manohar Parrikar suggesting that they should give priority to issues like reducing the retirement age of the government servants from 60 to 58, introducing transparency in recruitment in government services and tackling garbage disposal issue, if the BJP comes to power in the state. Mr Rodrigues also condemned the habit of the Congress leaders of converting politics into business venture and rushing to the central observers before taking any decision pertaining to the welfare of Goa. Meanwhile, Wilmix Mazzarelo told 'The Navhind Times' that the group of tiatrists - some of them having different political ideologies - has decided to support the Save Goa Front on the single issue of providing the status of the state language to Konkani in Roman script. Mr Churchill Alemao has given us this assurance in the manifesto of SGF and our hope lies in the party, he added. Ms Patricia Pinto of the Goa Bachao Abhiyan, on the other hand reacting to the political affiliations of various factions linked to the GBA said that these different organisations are not bounded to the Abhiyan and are free to express their political preferences. These organisations came under the GBA umbrella with an honest objective to oppose the Regional Plan 2011 and were committed to take this objective to its logical conclusion. However, the core members of the Abhiyan like myself, Dr Oscar Rebello, Ms Sabina Martins and so on would continue to follow the apolitical approach of the GBA, she added. http://www.navhindtimes.com/articles.php?Story_ID=05207 --- Goanet recommends, and is proud to be associated with, 'Domnic's Goa' - A nostalgic romp through a bygone era.

I am only peripherally aware of Aires' many accomplishments but like all activists, he's vulnerable and will invariably and inadvertently back horses that aren't going to win or have a nail in their hooves to begin with. It is ofcourse a telling state of our democracy that so much activism by the common man is required to keep our polity in check.

[Goanet] Aires Rodrigues arrested?
Folks, I received the following today: - PANJIM, Jan 4: Save Goa Front Convenor Aires Rodrigues was today restrained from attending the proceedings of the second day of the Global Goans Convention. Anticipating that Aires Rodrigues would raise the issue of the Goa Regional Plan 2011, Commissioner of NRI Eduardo Faleiro directed the Director of NRI affairs Ulhas Kamat to summon the police and arrest Adv. Rodrigues. A police posse headed by Sub-Divisional Police Officer Deu Banaulikar rushed to Cidade de Goa, the venue of the Convention and requested Adv. Rodrigues who was a registered delegate to leave the venue. Banaulikar directed the organizers to refund to Adv. Rodrigues Rs 1000 paid by him as delegate fee. On receipt of the amount Adv. Rodrigues left the venue escorted by the police. Meanwhile, Aires Rodrigues has stated that Eduardo Faleiros highhanded dictatorial behavior today has shown clear signs of insanity setting on the Commissioner of NRI affairs. Rodrigues has further stated that any issue that affects Goa is a matter of concern to all including the Non Resident Goans and that Faleiro could not highjack the agenda of a Convention being hosted at tax payers expense. It may be recalled that some delegates walked out of the convention yesterday in protest against Eduardo Faleiros decision not to allow any discussion on the Regional plan. ___ If the above is true, Commissioner of NRI Eduardo Faleiro is turning out to be a commissioner more suited for Bihar than Goa! I am curious if anyone attending the meet is interested in following up and reporting if the above is true. I am also interested in knowing if the office of the commissioner has a list of projects that need foreign partners/financing. Mervyn3.0 __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
