A meeting of concerned citizens held at Vasco resolved to continue and intensify the stir for justice for the seven year old Vasco girl who was brutally raped on 14th January at Deep Vihar School run by the Mormugao Port Trust.
An emotionally choked father of the victim vowed to struggle till his very last to ensure his daughter gets justice and the perpetrators of that horrifying crime are nabbed and brought to book. The grief stricken father narrated how Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had been hood - winking the public including the Legislative assembly by making utterly false and misleading statements on the rape case. The issue will now be raised in the ensuing session of Parliament scheduled to begin on April 20th. The issue will be highlighted in Parliament to expose the failure of the Goa Police to nab the rapist despite almost three months having elapsed. The people across India and the world need to know about the incompetence of the Goa government to deliver justice to a 7 year old, who was so cruelly raped in broad daylight in a secured school premises. The Children’s Court will also be moved again on account of the failure of the police to comply with the Court orders issued earlier this month. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar is right when he says he has been personally monitoring the rape case. Yes, infact what the Chief Minister has been monitoring is the cover up of the case. The stoic silence on the issue by the four MLA’s of Mormugao Taluka including Alina Saldanha is deafening. For political and vested interests they have shown total insensitivity to the case, only to shield the rapist, the school headmistress and other staff. The battle for justice in the Vasco rape case may be a long drawn one but we need to do everything possible to ensure that the rapist is nabbed and the headmistress and other staff are rigorously punished. It is a heinous crime which is being sought to be hushed up. The Vasco rape case will come to haunt Manohar Parrikar and this government for their failure to deliver justice to this 7 year old who was mercilessly raped and with the case now being sought to be systematically covered up. For his (mis)conduct in handling this case, Mr. Manohar Parrikar cannot brag about being the Politician of the year but rather the Villain that he definitely has been.
