----- Original Message ----- From: goasuraj To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 12, 2004 9:37 AM Subject: Meeting of the Minds - LOK ULOITAT - FUDARI AIKTAT- A Goan Inititative to Empower the People. November 12, 2004 To, The Editor, V. Ixtt. Via e-mail. Dear Sir, Subject: Meeting of the Minds - LOK ULOITAT- FUDARI AIKTAT You are well aware of the existence of the Goa Su-Raj Party. It was formed to correct and/or to help bring about a reformation in the inconsistencies and anti people agendas of the leading National as well as Regional political parties of Goa by giving teeth to the people, the voters, to have a say in the matter in their own governance. An initiative in this regard will take place at CARITAS, St. Inez, Panjim on 20th. November, 2004 from 4.00 to 6.30 P.M. wherein an absolute departure from the traditional public meetings will be observed by not having guest/star speakers but allowing the people from the audience to speak on pre-selected political topics for a duration that will be decided by the moderator to give equal time for all speakers. Therefore, it goes without saying that those persons who are interested and or eager to put up their view points must indicated their willingness to do so, so that a list may be drawn-up to allocate equal slots for all speakers. Time permitting, open slots shall be given to the members of the audience to put across their view points. This has not happened in Goa as far as our knowledge goes. It has been observed that political parties have had their own respective agendas. And these agendas are forced on the people whether they agree or not. Mostly, these agendas are secret and unwritten, wherein the people at large are innocently drawn into the web of the vicious circle without their knowing or being conscious about it by creating an artificial and/or made to order hype. Through this initiative at CARITAS, people will be able to give voice to their inner feelings so that the powers that be listen and be guided accordingly to draw-up their agendas. Per se every single citizen of the state is a law abider. Those who disobey the laws know that there are reprimands and punishments to be suffered. But still some do break the laws knowing that they will get away through the inconsistencies of the laws, rules and regulations and the manipulative exercises indulged into by the political class. Therefore, 90 to 95 percent of the people of the state, irrespective of their faiths, beliefs or political leanings, respect just laws. But the same people must have a voice in objecting to those laws which are highly unjust and manipulative in nature which get the sanctity of the rule of law through vested inclinations. The intelligence of the people, of individuals, gets trampled upon when leaders speak-up and build a make-believe world to entrap them in their own designs where they do not get a chance to voice their differences. By this initiative, which will reach each and every city, town and district of the State in its own time, will give a chance to the people to talk, where leaders shall listen to adapt themselves accordingly, to make legislations, laws and rules that are compatible with the general thinking. After all, we are in a democracy and everything is supposed to be happening as according to the wishes of the people. We shall thank you to project these views in your writings to apprise the people of Goa that such a thing is happening and it is to their own benefit and advantage that they voluntarily participate and be listened to. And, we have absolute faith that your good intentions will carry the day. Yours Sincerely, for Goa Su-Raj Party Sd/- (Dr. N.S.
