[Goanet]WITHDRAWAL Symptoms?

[karla]

Mr.Rajendra Arlekar, MLA of Vasco and President of BJP, has catergorically 
stated to Rajdeep Sardessai live on NDTV tonight the Filipe Neri[ whom 
Singhvi insisted on calling as "Nair" on the show] was asked to WITHDRAW 
from the House under rule 189 [ after 2 hours of peaceful discussions in the 
House and just before a touch-and-go  voting on a confidence motion]for 
"improper behaviour" [ not responding to short notice summons by the Speaker 
to appear before him earlier in the day]. Filipe Neri has ,therefore not , 
repeat NOT, been DISQUALIFIED.

Whether Rule189 of  the House is applicable or not, or whether it should 
have been applied at 2.30 0r 4.30 P.M. is debatable. What is not debatable 
is whether WITHDRAWAL  and DISQUALIFICATION mean the same thing.

At 2.30 the Parrikar government was allowed a show of
strenght.  The composition was BJP and ally 17 +
1(Speaker)  and INC and allies 18.  The Speaker
disqualified "Independent" member Mr Filipe Neri
Rodrigues under a technicality  Mr Rodrigues pleaded for a 15
days time to respond to the Speakers notice which was
denied to him and the strenght fell for the INC and
allies to 17 this caused a chaotic situation.
The BJP won by one vote 18 to 17 of the INC after the Speaker cast his vote 
this was at
5.40 p.m. and there was a riot of celebrations all over the state.

We have earlier had a discussion on the difference between WITH HOLD  and 
WITHDRAW. Perhaps the kingdom was lost for want of this horse-shoe nail. 
Words are more important nowadays than deeds.

It is time for cocotes, gulal, pitchkari/water pistols, music, dancing and 
mock-fights, in-House or otherwise. Rane martai Pakleank-ku, Pakle martai 
Ranneak-ku. Farar-far zatai gharant-tu.

Viva Carnival...it has begun at Penha da France this evening.
