ASKING SUPREME COURT TO SHOW RESTRAINT The government in their haste for "development" and apeasing industrialists and builders, have many times accused the NGOs appaled by the permissions and environmental destruction/ pollution resulting, of being guilty of stalling progress by objecting to everything. Without knowing every aspect of their decisions, they cause immense pains and problems to life and liberty! Think of badily implemented Demonitization and GST, not to mention hasty Aadhar inflicted etc! Now the Attorney General Venugopal accused " Judges may not know all aspects of the problem when they choose to make adverse comments against the government". The Apex Court could pull up the Centre with a retort that at least they are solving the problem, not merely criticizing! The bullying aspect of a majority government can be seen in delying Justice Joseph's elevation to the Supreme Court and eventually lowering his seniority , the LG of Delhi "big bossing" of Delhi government and ordinances/passing laws nullifying the courts judjements. The Bench firmly stated "Let us make it clear that we have not and are not critizing the government for everyhing". The NGOs striving hard to save Goa from becoming a concrete jungle like Mumbai, Delhi and rest of India, would like to emphasize the same! What is dangerous is that the court can only implement laws. With the BJP having a majority in the Lok Sabha and on the way to dominating the Rajya Sabha, ihe Opposition in disarray and the media largely toeing the government line, it is high time for the silent majority to also stop showing restraint about the atrocities going on and speak up!
