Pretty nice one for the blokes...But what does he think about the 1. Saffronizing taking shape? 2. Going on a rampage on a) Mapusa hotel?. b) Fontainhas episode.?? Its quite easy to hide behind a mask and send u letters... Tell u what, just let him reveal his identity here and then hv a debate. Cybernuts are found a plenty. Who use diff. identities to stir a controvercy People will always find fault in the present govt. unless they pullup their socks! And criticizing will definitely get us there. Is it not that these guys were doing the same, when in the opposition earlier? Also tell him to come immediately, not until later.... Cheers, Seb PS: Fred, would be nice if u refrain from forwarding mails from people like this. They don't deserve a second look!! For those who missed this post from Manish, earlier in the day... The Government of Goa's decision to keep the post of the Director General of Police (DGP)in abeyence is a veiled attempt to get rid of its present occupant. Apparently, the Cabinet has already written to the Home Ministry to this effect. It should be noted here that Shri Amod Kanth, the present DGP, is an upright and no-nonsense police officer having impeccable professional credentials. It would be sad if such a widely respected DGP becomes a victim of the political machinations of the day. Those who know his past service record will vouch for the fact that he has served the police force with distinction. Moreover, he is endowed with human compassion, a rare quality among many serving police officials. His recent initiatives pertaining to isssues of women and children ought to be appreciated by one and all. His long-standing association with PRAYAS, an NGO working for street children in Delhi, has been the high watermark of his many accomplishments. His departure is definitely going to be a loss to Goa. I urge all conscientious citizens of Goa to come forward and demonstrate their good will for the present DGP so that the prestige and neutrality of his office does not get sacrificed at the altar of petty politics.
