(H) RESPONSE: Charges have been made against the C.M. in regard to discrimination against the minorities. It is not enough to pay lip service; he has to show instances where this has not occurred when challenged. > ORDINANCE TO PROTECT MUNDKARS: The Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Parrikar, > announced on Jan 5 that the government would issue an ordinance shortly to > protect the Mundkars who were adversely affected by the recent High Court > ruling.

(H) RESPONSE: Once again the C.M. is showing that he cares two hoots for the High Courts and for the Law of the Land. This contempt for the Laws and for the High Courts. He has to be challenged once again to explain himself; no doubt he will say that he was mis-interpreted yet again!
