Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sesa Goa explains The self advertisement about its innocence and propriety raises more questions than answers Legally everything is clothed immaculately and that is the problem The justification and explanations will not wipe away the doubts about its functioning Technically it has permissions to dig deeper and deeper in to the bowels of the earth and satisfy its greed Why has it found it expedient to make lakhs in donations to the BJP party coffers? Why was Congress not considered equally in distributing this largess There is a wide gap in donations. Was it to buy political silence? Is it a reward for undue favours received legally? Is it not a fact that the mines of Sesa are situated in BJP dominated areas ? what better way to appease than to get their support and understanding? Why at all the share holders acquiesce to huge amounts? In what way SESA benefited to show such gratitude Of course political donations are perfectly legal and are a norm of the democratic process and that by itself or reflections in balance sheet and Income tax returns will not convince the public There is more to it than meets the eye to covertly hide behind the cloak of secrecy Mr Parikar the PAC chairman will surely no indict the SESA Goa in his valid observations There may not be even a passing reference to their activities You cannot expect to bite the hand that feeds you The speculations that MLA`s representing the constituencies have simultaneously and surreptitiously benefited like wise This wild speculations is logical under circumstances. The PAC report not admitted by the speaker , it is believed is practically silent on the affairs of Sesa, as every thing is legal and transparent on the documents per se. The discriminatory donations to the various party is a clear pointer of favours repaid Remember the Congress is the ruling party and yet it does not stand in preference to the BJP, not even distantly Will MR Parikar make a clean breast publicly about lakhs in donations and mining interests of Sesa ?
