Subject: CITIZENS HUMBLE REQUEST TO MLAS John has pointed out well. His Dos and DONTs are paramount for political sanity. But mere requests are too mild for the rhino skinned Digus, Alemaos and Ravis. They have now started choking democratic avenues of addressing injustice using police and other legal provisions supposed to be used only against goons like sect 144. Digu enforced sect 144 against the teachers when they wanted to agitate, but welcomed fake Moti dongor delegation to arrest Mickey. He bashed up and hauled ladies of village groups a month ago and now teachers. He has planned a 2000 strong industrial police force to crush agitation against mining excesses. He is also planning police bill to aid his miner friends. Time has come not just to suggest and express but act. People wanting to see Political Sanity prevailing, must get together in each constituency and act. Through the posts on Goanet let us get together. This is humble request to all goanetters to=A0express their willingness to join forces for political sanity. My constituency is Curchoem and my phone no is 9822101450.
