Highly condemnable and deplorable is the gross misconduct by Dr Shekhar Salkar in withdrawing 55.8 lakhs from Goa Cricket Association (GCA) funds last week to pay the lawyers he had hired to try and cover up his fraudulent acts. Infact the fraudulent and blatant illegalities by Dr Shekhar Salkar in an attempt to deviously get elected as President of the GCA was exposed in the High Court.
Under no condition should the GCA foot the bill of this 55.8 lakhs and it should be all paid by Dr Shekhar Salkar because it was his expedition in cooking up all those falsities which even the top lawyer he brought from Delhi could not defend. Dr Shekhar Salkar is known to be a snake in the grass. When Dayanand Narvekar was at the GCA’s helm of affairs, Dr Shekhar Salkar was vociferously demanding that the GCA should come under the purview of Right to Information Act. But once he came to the helm of affairs in an expected U turn he opted that the veil of secrecy in the functioning of the GCA should continue. That is Dr Shekhar Salkar and no more needs to be said. His long overdue now departure from GCA is the best thing that could happen for Cricket in Goa. May the new Managing Committee under the leadership of Chetan Desai work dedicatedly and selflessly to take Cricket to greater heights.
