hello Sandeeph/ goa netters
Read the article by Sandeep Heble, and the main question that arises after
Operation Red-light � Now what? Being the oldest profession, which has been
denied its existence, will it yield to more rapes? As per the articles, this
red light area existed since many years, and inspite of this many people had
opted to staying in this area, settled there, many housings did come, and
people bought the properties, and settled there inspite of knowing the negative
aspects of their surroundings, so the question of rights does not arise. What
the government has done is both condemnable and not, condemnable cause they
destroyed houses of people who were not involved in this business, they also
did not pre-plan what is to be done to all the people involved in this
business, and not because that places needed a cleanup. But I just wonder what
will be the end result of this. Rapes have already started taking place in Goa,
but pray, that with the stop of the only pleasurable place, it does not happen
in every nook and corner. The other question is why did the governement take
this decision? Is it because the hotel lobby was behind it? They wanted the
area to build five star hotels? I think the best place to repartriate the women
folks would have been near Monahar Parikars house, and he would have had many
Monica Levinskys in his backyard.
God Bless Goa. God protect our women folks.
