Mickky addresses Assembly demands arrest of Roy Naik http://www.targetgoa.com/newsd.php?id=774
1: (Mickky) took objection that the Crime Branch raided his house while he was Minister without informing him. 2: He said if they had any shred of evidence that he caused Nadia’s death in any way, they should produce it, and he will resign instantly as MLA. 3: He demanded that Roy Naik son of Home Minister Ravi Naik be arrested. Dear Mickky, For the record, allow me to say how happy I am that you have been released from 'police custody'. It would have been better, I believe, for you have been available to the police for questioning, right from the very start, instead of going into hiding and then applying for anticipatory bail; the CCU admission having been noted. Having said that, and with the preface that a determination of anyone's guilt or innocence can only be made by a court of law upon evaluation of 'all the facts of the case', I personally believe that #s1 & 3 (as - attributed to you) are ridiculous. re #1: Why should the police inform you that they are raiding your private residence? Because you are a special servant of the people and hence should be treated above what your masters (voters) are treated by law? re #3: If you have (to quote from 'you') any shred of evidence, should you not present it to the police? The only consolation is that you were apparently speaking (with immunity) in the House. Normally, political speeches in the 'House' (all over the world) are taken with a generous pinch of salt - as they are classic examples of grandstanding. jc * * * UK STOCKS EXHAUSTED!
