Cidade de Goa - Ordinance
The Supreme Court's judgement is based on a faulty, archaic legislation that has rightly been amended, claims Vikram Varma in the Herald of March 24. what is indeed shocking to note is that the canaries tamed and maintained by the Timblos are not just singing their tunes but actually justifying the murder of a Supreme Court ruling by our self-centered and corrupt politicians. If the Timblos knew that the old legislation was archaic, why did they not put up their case to rectify this anomaly before the structure was built. Wouldn't it have been easier then? The point is that they knew what they were doing was illegal and went right ahead and did it. How can that be justified? Both Vikram Varma and Sanjoy Gupta have more than enough pounds of Goan flesh on their table, the cuisine of mining, prepared and garnished by the Timblos. It's certainly not "some intelligentsia" as Varma writes, who seek a pound of flesh. The Goans are clamouring for justice, saying that the rulings of supreme seat of justice in this country have to be adhered to, and, moreover, that the tomfoolery of our two-bit politicians to make a mockery of the Supreme Court should be dealt with severely. All amendments to the Constitution should be done in conjunction with the will of the people and not to create a "vacuum" in the system that our corrupt politicians and money bags can do the rock-n-roll in anytime they want to. The Supreme Court Judgment and the subsequent ordinance of the Government of Goa is a battle between the highest judiciary of the country and a pathetic State Government and its petty functionaries attempting to make an ass of our judicial system for the sole purpose of protecting the illegalities of generous contributors to their corrupt cause. This we know to be true most certainly do not need Vikram's optically altered version of the same. Portraying a consonance between the ordinance and the welfare of the 600 families (a highly exaggerated figure!) is abysmal logic. The ordinance is a result of a greed to safeguard and protect the flow of mistruths. If the Government took such a hasty decision for the sole purpose of protecting this actually small work force, then why did the government not take any action to protect the over 8000 families affected by the CRZ ? Why has the government not done anything for the thousands of people affected by mining and mega housing? Or is the government only for our mining and hospitality barons? The bread and butter on the Timblos' table will not be affected by the demolition of a part of their hotel because they have plenty of it stacked up through illegal mining. They have shown enough generosity to our politicians to further stock their supplies of bread and butter. The so called '600 families' are just pawns on their chess board. Our activists have been beaten up, ridiculed, aggrieved and falsely implicated by the so called tenacious lady, full of virtues and her beloved, who I am sure isn't lagging behind in finesse and culture too. Her love for humanity pours out in such an abundance that it is difficult to curtail the flow even in all the pits of their mines. Doesn't it sound odd that Vikram Varma recognizes sainthood and proclaims her a deity? This, for someone whom he has not even met in person, while all the rest of Goa sees red in anger! The ordinance only proves that our politicians promote exclusivist agendas to reinforce the power of entrenched elites, the writ of lords and masters over the common people. It is sad that even in these days of global recession there are slimy eels like Vikram Varma handed out freebies to distort the truth.
