To, The Collector (North) North Goa Collectorate Building, Panjim-Goa. The Commissioner, Panjim Municipal Corporation, Panjim-Goa. The Director General of Police, Police Headquarters, Panjim-Goa. Sir, Subject: LEGAL NOTICE: Defacement of the City of Panjim & Surrounding Areas: The Goa Su-Raj Party deplores the way in which the City of Panjim and the surrounding approach areas have been defaced by the indiscriminate planting of the Bharatiya Janata Party's flags in the wake of the Party's Convention held at the EDC grounds, Patto, Panjim on 28th. September, 2003. We expect the authorities who are charged with the responsibility to clear such defacements of public property governed by the Goa Prevention of Anti-Defacement of Property Act, 1988 will diligently discharge their duties in removing such defacements at the earliest and book the culprits under the provisions of the said Act without fear or favour. It must be noted, that no one is above the laws of the land, more so the Bharatiya Janata Party which is the partner in the ruling coalition Government, being bound by oath of assuming office to safe-guard the laws of the land faithfully and responsibly. Also, the law enforcers must remember that they are paid from the coffers of the public exchequer to enforce the laws of the land and not from the private coffers of the Bharatiya Janata Party to act as cleaners of the mess it likes to irresponsibly leave behind. If the defacement mentioned above is not cleared with immediate effect, we shall be constrained to approach the High Court with a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against you to seek appropriate reliefs. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, for Goa Su-Raj Party. SD/- (Floriano C. Lobo) President. Copy: Chief Secretary, Government of Goa, Secretariat. Note: The above has been inwarded to the respective parties as indicated, on 29/9/03. ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
