PANAJI: The run up to the 36th International Film Festival of India, beginning here on November 24, is already tangled in controversy with one of the special invitee to the Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) resigning on the grounds that the event management committee has already been pre-determined. Fashion designer Wendell Rodricks told DNA that the manner in which the intimation to special invitees was sent out for the first committee meeting held last week during which five event management committees gave their presentations it was clear that their presence was really not wanted. Wendell says he was informed of the meeting a few hours before it was held just like the others including artist and cartoonist Mario Miranda, Ranjana Salgaocar of the Red Cross and Anju Timblo from Cidade de Goa. http://dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=5207&CatID=2
