In his initial post on the said subject, Dr Anand made it abundantly clear, in unambiguous terms, that he took Manohar Parrikar's consent for recording a Video Interview exclusively for GOANET and that the same would be uploaded on the Goanet network as and when ready.
Dr Anand's post is in the archives and his first two sentences say it all: <Quote> I have requested Manohar Parrikar to record a video interview for Goanet...and he has kindly agreed. He will answer questions posed by all of us and the videos will subsequently be uploaded on Goanet." <Unquote> Rajan Parrikar changes directions and sings a different tune now. <Quote> Nowhere will it be claimed, suggested or implied that this production has anything to do with Goanet. We will send a link to this forum through a normal post. We are also free to publish it on other fora and other media outlets (and we may). <Unquote> A few comments of my own: 1. Though the consent has been taken from Manohar Parrikar for recording an interview exclusively for Goanet, Rajan says that the Goanet Owners/ Moderators must have no say in this and Rajan does not need their permission to publish it there. 2. Though the consent has been taken from Manohar Parrikar for recording an interview exclusively for Goanet, Rajan says that he is free to(and he may) publish it on other fora and other media outlets. 3. Though the consent has been taken from Manohar Parrikar for recording an interview exclusively for Goanet, Rajan says that nowhere will it be claimed, suggested or implied that this production has anything to do with Goanet. 4. Though the questions for the interview have been solicited exclusively from Goanetters, Rajan and Anand are free to, and without taking our permission, publish the same on any other fora and other media outlets that they wish to. Jose Colaco has used the right terminology to describe Rajan in this issue. Rajan is indeed acting like a Don here. Rajan can decide for himself that he is going to be the one who will interview Parrikar. Rajan can modify, rephrase and re-write our questions in the way he wants. Rajan can decide which questions should be asked and which shouldn't. Rule No 1 says that Rajan is always right! Rule No 2 says that even if Rajan is wrong, we must all look at Rule No 1. We must all bow down our heads to Rajan. In all this, it is noteworthy to point out that the good cop who has mooted the initial proposal has gone hiding into his shell, unwilling to set the records straight while the bad cop does all the talking.
