What makes people think that CST airport is so pores as Dabolim airport? Many will not know that cctvs keep a continuous watch on the road at least from 2 km away from the airport, continuously monitoring each and every person who visits the airport premises and right through the boarding gate. In all possibility the ministers personal body language, gait and behaviour did him in. Even the porters are trained to keep an eye on all. The smile & query that you may be greeted at the ticket counter is to disarm the potential smuggler and terrorists and make him/her slip. Even if the baggage is checked in the hold, it is x-rayed once more inside the loading dock. Monserrate should have known better since he claims he is flying in and out. Good luck to him. I doubt the matter will be easy to wriggle out as another case the CBI has asked for the transfer of his case to the Mumbai High Court. CISF& Airport intelligence security is tighter than before and forget playing such games with them. If they care a hang for a Maharashtrian minister, would they care about the goan minister? Ashley

Speaking at a press conference, BJP Goa unit chief Laxmikant Parsekar said that the party would adopt all the democratic means to ensure that Monserrate is dropped from the cabinet. "We will not allow such a tainted Minister to continue running our government," he said. Parsekar said that they have sought appointment of the Governor Dr SS Sidhu on Tuesday to seek his intervention in sacking Monserrate from the state cabinet. "We expect that the Governor will execute his powers and ask Chief Minister to sack Monserrate," he said. The Congress minister was detained at Mumbai airport on Saturday on his way to Dubai for carrying unaccounted money in foreign currencies. The BJP leader also wondered as to why the state chief minister Digambar Kamat was silent on the issue. He demanded that the chief minister should make a statement as to how many ministers went abroad and whether they had taken permission from ministry of external affairs for the same. Parsekar also said that they are planning to move an adjournment motion on Tuesday when state legislative assembly will discuss state budget. Monserrate, however, has argued that he could account for the money that was found on him. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/BJP-seeks-dismissal-of-Goa-minis ter/articleshow/7858075.cms
