Like FN, I too believe that info placed in signature files, would make
it far more facile for the person concerned to be contacted.

However, 'privacy' is a private matter. Is it not. Common courtesy
requires (I believe) that the person be invited (privately) to divulge
(if necessary and if he/she wishes) the information requested.

Taking the matter a few notches up, we have ALL kinds of personal
information including Medical Information plastered all over the
place.

This is why, many countries have now introduced Data Protection
legislations - prohibiting (except in certain specified situations)
the release of medical information about individuals - even after the
death of the individuals.

I get the feeling that in Goa, it is quite OK to release such
information including the sexuality of a deceased person or the names
of minors who may or may not have been molested or sexually active.

Anyway, so much for the unethical doctors, journalists, lawyers and
other scumbags.

 Thanks Miguel:
Its a pity that Prajal Sakhardande got caught in between. But it shows how
low things have descended. It could have been anyone -- even a Goanettter if
one was meeting with Adv. Aires Rodrigues at that time. I guess the same or
worse treatment would have been meted to a woman?

This could also be a setup to set up a minister who in any case is not
worthy of esteem.

Lets hope both Prajal and Aires, their families and loved ones deal and
recover from the various traumas they are going through. Lets also hope that
this is one more eyeopener to the rest of us that things are beyond sick.

Sincerely,
Venantius J Pinto

Dears,

Just saw the gory visuals on PRUDENT Media with its Editor, Sandesh 
Prabhudesai, at his theatrical best ...as if he was anchoring a discussion on 
global warming and the ice melting in far away Greenland. The only person who 
looked cooler that him was Dr. Pravin Togadia on Goa 365 saying that the 
Bajrang Dal and VHP had nothing to do with the violence against Christians in 
Kandhamal-Orissa or in and around Mangalore in Karnataka since end August and 
14 September, 2008, respectively. He laid the blame on Pakistan and SIMI.

The damage to Adv. Aires Rodrigues is very targeted from the looks of it. The 
index fingers on both the arms have been sliced off at the first joint at the 
stump end. The two finges have been completely severed and I do not know if 
there is any surgeon in Goa who can restore mobility to these fingers, so 
damaged.

Dr. Oscar Rebello was at hand outside CAMPAL CLINIC, Miramar, to brief Prudent 
Media on the status of Adv. Aires and Prajal. They are "clinically stable" he 
said, but the actual condition will be known after scanning. Oscar rightly 
stated that no one expected the actions to reach "such a low level" as to 
become physically violent. Like Oscar, many of us do not appreciate the style 
of activism that Aires resorts to, but this is no way to respond to him. There 
are legal and social options, which need to be exercised in a civilized society.

Prajal has a bleeding wound near his right ear. He seems to have been punched 
and battered as his nostrils and lips showed congealed blood. He was conscious 
and able to speak. One could hear him asking for his wife, Anju, after he 
finished answering Sandesh's questions on camera.

The behaviour of the authorities at CAMPAL CLINIC left much to be desired in 
terms of "customer care". An injured Prajal bbeing interviewed is bad enough, 
PRUDENT Media team was apparently allowed access to the Operation Theatre to 
film an unconscous Adv. Aires awaiting the attention of a surgeon. I do hope 
the nurses in the OT do not wear infection carriers like bangles as did the 
para-medics attending to a bleeding Prajal in a casualty room.

Adv. Jatin Naik, who was with Adv. Aires and Prajal at Ashok Bar & Restaurant 
behind GPO, Panaji [between Rua de Ourem and San Tome road], not far from 
HERALD office, was clearly distraught. Ashok is a favourite place for chicken 
xacuti, but some one in the background while Jatin was being interviewed on 
PRUDENT Media, was insistent on getting an aswer to his Question "Is it a hotel 
or a bar?" Great sensitivity ...and journalistic skills, indeed!

According to Jatin, he had just moved away for a moment when all hell broke 
loose at about 10.20 P.M. on Monday night at "Ashok" The men were wearing 
"burkha" [possibly black hoods] and could not be identified. They carried 
knives and assaulted the two [Prajal and Aires] with Aires clearly being 
identified as the target. there were half a dozen of them, possibly seven, 
according to Jatin.

Prajal was clearly dazed. He thought some of them carried something like a 
machine gun. It seems unlikely, though not impossible.

SP North Goa, Bosco George, was unruffled by the incident. Neither were Dy. 
S.P. Deu Banaulikar [holding charge in Vasco and Panaji, while a Police Medal 
winner like Dy. S.P. Sammy Tavares is twiddling his toes without a posting, 
according to HERALD's Tomcat]  and Panaji P.I. Francis Corte were equally cool. 
They know too well where the enthusiasm of SP Thakur[?], Dy. S.P. Mohan Naik 
and P.I. Naik landed them after 18 February, 2008, hungama ...and the GRP is 
not such an exciting posting. They will play it by the ear.

In the meanwhile, do not rush thinking that Babush is to blame as PRUDENT Media 
editor seems to be imprudently doing. After the "due course of law" the blame 
could fall on anyone ...even you! If an 80 year old lady and a not-so-young 
priest of Don Bosco school in Sulcorna can be charged with "criminal 
intimidation" of drivers of iron-ore laden trucks,  who assaulted the 
activists at Colomb-Sanguem on Saturday ... anything is possible. 

WAIT AND WATCH.

Dears,

First of all a short prayer for the quick recovery of my friend and fire-brand, 
Prajal Sakhardande. Agni Pariksha is not for teachers. He is obviously a 
collateral victim.

Adv. Aires Rodrigues is made of sterner stuff. May he recover the full use of 
his injured finger.

At 18 minutes past midnight [0018 hours] on Tuesday 14 October, 2008, Digital 
News flashed news that will send a shiver down every activist's spine. It read 
thus:
SOCIAL ACTIVISTS AIRES RODRIGUES AND PRAJAL SAKHARDANDE MERCILESSLY BEATEN UP 
BY A MASKED GANG LATE NIGHT IN A PANAJI HOTEL. ADMITTED IN HOSPITAL.

Lecturer in history at Dhempe College-Miramar and GHAG as well as UTTH GOENKARA 
activist, Mr Prajal Sakhardande; UTTH GOENKARA spokesman and lawyer Adv. Mr 
Aires Rodrigues, and another three persons were at a restaurant in Panaji-Goa 
when a gang of seven to eight people attacked them with weapons.

Adv. Aires Rodrigues is the lawyer representing the German national who had 
accused the son of a cabinet minister of sexually harrassing her minor 
school-going daughter was apparently the target of the brutal assualt by a gang 
at a city restaurant. The rest were collateral victims.

 Adv Aires  Rodrigues and Prajal Sakhardande  have been admitted
 to a city hospital. Mr Rodrigues  was operated as one his fingers was badly 
injured.
 The hospital was host to a crowd of media and the top police officials when 
the news of this brutal assault was received. 

 It may be recalled that yesterday at a press conference he
 and the German lady  accused  one minister's son of wrong doing.
 Even earlier Mr Rodrigues had pointed out to certain alleged illegalities in 
the affidavit filed by the minister while filing his returns leading to his 
being sent a notice by the retirning officer.

 It may be recalled that this is the same minister who has been accused of 
attacking the Panaji City police station on 18 February, 2008, and he was sworn 
in as a minister while a CBI inquiry is on.  

The minister is an obvious suspect in the assault on the activists that could 
have been carried out by anyone to defame him in this politically volatile 
period. He was the prime accused in the Regional Plan 2011 ...but the work of 
"development" has continued unabashedly even while he resigned the post of TCP 
minister on 06 January, 2007 almost two years ago. Almost every minister 
has his fingers in the builder's pie and their pockets are filled with iron 
ore! To top it all we have a Manohar v/s Manohar drama in the chai shop with 
one Manohar charging at the Gram Sabhas like a dhirio bull in a China shop. 

Dista toxem asso-na tem; dongor pois suttiant sazre, lagim suttiant kazre!

We need to see how the political drama unfolds.

Watch this space .. and protect your back, unless it is already against the 
wall!

It is all about money, honey.
