More Goans should voice their opinions and speak out against the high-handedness of the Goa Government. This is how they treat our retired old teachers. The Goa Government is one of the most corrupt, devious and anti-Goan that one could ever imagine!
After selling Goa for a song they now want to still the voices of Goans protesting against their high-handedness. They'll soon convert Goa to apolice state to cover all their con-schemes. Shame on the Goa Government. Beware next it could be anyone of us speaking out against them. This is the latest update from Target Goa. ***********************************************************************************************8 Retired teachers court arrest in pouring rain 2010-07-19 Retired teachers courted arrest, many in fact were arrested under Section 151 of the Indian Penal Code. They were protesting outside the Secretariat while the Assembly was in progress. According to police sources they were attempting to block the road. The retired teachers are agitating because they fell through the cracks of government policy. According to the then government policy they had to retire when they crossed 58 years of age. Later the retirement age was extended to age 60. They are therefore agitating for compensation having lost out on Fifth and Sixth Comission pay hikes. The Chief Minister would not give them the time of day when they agitated last month, instead they were arrested and allowed to go. The teachers then went on a chain hunger strike. That too did not work. The retired teachers have now decided to intensify their stir by taking their fight to Goa's seat of democracy - the Assembly.
