Editor, Sir, Re: Orissa State Religious Conflagration The Goa Su-Raj Party while condemning the brutal killings of the leaders of the VHP by unidentified gunmen, also vociferously condemns the unnecessary violence resulting in loss of life and property in the State of Orissa and sympathizes with the suffering people, hoping that the actual killers of VHP leaders will be identified and brought to justice, quickly. The Goa Su-Raj Party urges the Vigilance and the Police agencies not to allow unsuspecting civilians and religious minorities to be targeted by the fundamentalists organizations on scales like these who are waiting for a trigger to relapse into disorder, destruction, rape, killing and mayhem for which they are best known for, especially after the Godhra incident. The Party feels the need for the Central Intelligence and Law and Order Enforcing Agencies to quickly deploy sufficient number of para-military forces in places throughout India where such triggers are made available for brute forces to activate themselves seeking to destroy the image of the nation as a Secular state. The Goa Su-Raj Party is of the opinion that the Central Leadership must equally share the blame for its timely inaction and for allowing vicious fundamentalist mobs of people to exact their revenge on the entire sections of hapless religious minorities that will surely and deservedly generate National as well as International censure. Re: Advani Suggest Fast Track Courts to try Politicians, Bureaucrats The Goa Su-Raj Party heartily welcomes the formula given out by the Prime Ministerial Candidate of the BJP Shri. L.K. Advani to have the national circuit of fast track courts to try politicians and bureaucrats in corruption cases. The Party hopes this formula sees the light of the day in the near future and does not become a mere rhetoric towards the end game of trying to get closer to the seat of the Prime Minister of India. This will not only clean the national Augean stables but will unleash surplus cash flow of crores of rupees into the beleaguered public exchequer. However, the Goa Su-Raj Party is most disappointed with the performance of the Goa BJP in this connection, especially the performance of the Leader of the Opposition Shri. Manohar Parrikar, in the just concluded Legislative Assembly where he was expected to atleast raise a feeble question about the major role played by Goa's two most dynamic Ministers in the Goa Government viz. Health Minister Shri. Vishvajeet Rane and Education Minister Shri Babush Monserrate in the recently unearthed Canacona based land-scam which saw Justice S. Parab summarily dismissed from service through a Petition filed in the Bombay High Court at Goa by an enterprising lawyer Ms. Sudha Pai Kir. The least we expected of the Leader of the righteous BJP in Goa was to demand the resignation of these two ministers for their tacit involvment in the said land scam.
