Violence On The Streets Of Miramar
The news about the violence on the streets of Miramar spread like wild fire and as I went through the news, I felt that if choppers and knives were replaced with blazing guns, this act would have been a straight from the famous Mario Puzo best seller, The Godfather, by the Mafiso's on the streets of Sicily, a film directed by none other than the Oscar winning Francis F Coppola. Goans all over are shocked at such violence within the parameters and precincts of the Capital city, which houses the GHQ of the Goa Police. It looks like criminals have neither fear nor respect for the HQ of the law enforcement agency of Goa and it is indeed worrying to note that even though a police van was in the vicinity of the crime scene, the mafia type gang war still erupted in broad day light and on the main road of the posh locality and in this barbaric attack, an innocent bystander was stabbed and is now fighting for her life. Would criminals dare commit this barbaric crime in such close proximity of a police station and more so the Police HQ, if our police were honest, efficient and duty bound ? Any where in the world, criminals would think hundred times before committing a crime in such a close proximity of a police station and more so of the police GHQ. It is very much evident that our system of governance has rendered the Goa Police ineffective and impotent, willingly or unwillingly, or else, how can we explain that our Goa Police are now saluting and protecting the very same person that had attacked the GHQ in broad daylight and few years ago ? In Goa the nexus between criminals, police and the politicians is common knowledge, the political clout and money power of the crooked and corrupt politicians shelters criminals and feeds the police and those that are good enough to refuse handouts become victims of the transfer transgressions in God forsaken places. The hired goons of politicians act as tools to clamp down non-cooperating and non-submitting individuals or parties, especially during elections and in return get protection from anything and everything including murder. Even in this present case it's in the news that a present minister in the Kamat cabinet, went to the hospital to see the criminal who was attacked by a rival gang but unfortunately did not think it prudent to ask about the welfare of the innocent girl with a punctured lung fighting for her life, a victim of collateral damage. Every minister in Goa has his own band of renegades who follow their orders without any questions, faithful dogs ready to pounce even on unsuspecting and peace loving victims. Sometimes it is the members of the security service that carry on atrocities against innocent and peaceful protesters on the behest of miners and politicians. The number of custodial deaths has shown the apathy of our Police for the Rule of Law and justice. Deaths due to criminal negligence are ignored, murder files closed as natural deaths and rapes swept under the carpets. In Goa if you have the money and the hand of a politician over you, you can get away with anything and everything and the apathy of our Police and politicians has overwhelmingly led to the pathetic state of affairs in Goa. We Goans today are not secure in our own streets and in our own homes and this is only because we Goans have sold our self respect and our dignity to the highest bidder and elected the same corrupt and conniving politicians to carry their relentless assault on Goa and Goans, unabated. I only hope and pray that the prevailing mayhem in Goa will make every Goan sit up and take account of our actions and realize our folly, take corrective actions and elect good people who will work for the wellbeing of Goa and Goans and get rid of people who support crime and criminals for their own personal wellbeing.
