Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar’s contumacious comments on the poor legal acumen of judges is highly deplorable. The most inappropriate broadside launched by Manohar Parrikar against the orders passed by some judges is in utter bad taste and highly condemnable. He is obviously trying to high-highhandedly blackmail and intimidate Judges into submission.
Manohar Parrikar needs to be strongly damned for his malicious statement that judges in Goa need re-orientation. It is the Chief Minister, his Ministers, MLAs, and bureaucrats who should instead surrender themselves to Zero tolerance in corruption and accountability in public life, as then there may never be an occasion for their acts to undergo judicial scrutiny. The government should not always expect favorable judicial orders. If the Goa government is aggrieved by any Court order it should file an appeal in accordance with law. It is high time Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar learns to respect the independence and the sovereignty of the judiciary. But for the Chief Minister who is displaying acute signs of being off his rocker, like a dog’s tail will never straighten. God Save Goa.
