members who were brutally assaulted in December 2008 by a mob led by Atanasio
Monserrate, who is now Goa's education minister, state president of the youth
wing Sankalp Amonkar said on Sunday.
Asked about the issues the Youth Congress will take up with the Gandhi scion,
he said the completion of the Rajiv Gandhi IT Habitat and the brutal assault on
party members would top the priority list.
"We were attacked by Atanasio Monserrate (then a legislator) but there is no
action against him despite repeated requests to the chief minister and the Goa
congress president for an impartial police probe," Amonkar said.
"We were staging a protest demanding that work on the Rajiv Gandhi IT Habitat
be carried on unhindered when we were attacked by a mob led by Monserrate.
(Congress president) Sonia Gandhi had conceived the project, which would have
given a lot of jobs to the Goan youth," Amonkar said.
According to a complaint filed at the Panaji police station, Monserrate, who
was opposing the Rajiv Gandhi IT Habitat, had led a mob which attacked Youth
Congress members in December 2008 while they were demanding that the IT project
be completed.
Amonkar said Rahul Gandhi will also interact with the students of Goa
university.
"He will also address members of the Pradesh Congress committee and Youth
Congress representatives during his visit," he said.
