Manoj Parab, a Goa government employee of Electricity
department today 29th July 2014 came to attack President, Bharat
Mukti Morcha, Maggie Silveira at her residence in Vanxim. He was accompanied by
two people from a private company surveying the land and roads. The incident
that took place at around 1.00 pm was marked with tension as Manoj came to
attack Maggie physically three times. As a woman there should be respect given
by a man but with Mahendra Gaunekar intervening in the matter cops came
immediately telling Maggie “Saiban apoilam” (Sir has called you). Maggie asked
for call letter which they did not have. So they asked for Maggie’s mobile
number which she shared. Maggie told them to serve call letter and then she
will come. It looks that corporate bodies have right on the females living in
Vanxim. They having their own identity to live on the island. Corporate and
Mahendra Gaunekar troubling the villagers when they want to fight for truth and
justice. Bharat Mukti Morcha condemns the high-handedness of police asking
Maggie to come to police station without serving call letter.
The private surveyors looks on in Vanxim in the middle of resistence
Vanxim island in Mandovi river is at the threshold of major
resistance to the Golf Course, 5 star hotel, Private villas etc. Goa’s Catholic
Church has strangely involved in selling of land and paddy fields, bunds and
water bodies etc. It is estimated that paddy fields sold by the Archbishop
Felipe Neri Ferrao itself is amounting to 4,18,550 square meters at the rate of
Rs.20/- per square meter. Besides there is more land sold by earlier Archbishop
Raul Nicolau Gonsalves during his tenure as per records procured from the
Registrar’s office in Panjim.
Today’s attempted attack was yet another episode in this
respect. Manoj Parab hailing from Vanxim island itself looks to be working as
hired hand of those wanting to grab the island. Maggie told Manoj Parab to get
away and move off.
Yet he refused and went on to issue threats to her husband
Sebastian Rodrigues for catching Manoj Parab-in-confrontation on camera. For a minute he withdrew and walked
20 meters to consult his advisors Assis Furtado
then came charging and threatening Sebastian. He warned him that in case
he wants to stay in Vanxim he should stay nicely. He also threatened him of
smashing the camera. He was given fitting retorts by Maggie.
This Manoj Parab has his brother as a constable posted at
Old Goa police station. And based on him and his connections in Police he has
been using high handed language.
What is the interesting and serious implications of today’s
confrontation in Vanxim has been the locus
standi of Manoj Parab to engage in survey work of land that does not
belonged to him. He does not work for the Land Survey department. He works for
electricity department with duty to distribute the electricity bills but not in
Vanxim. In Vanxim he has no official role. Then what was he doing? Why he has
to visit Maggie’s house in Vanxim and engage in confrontation? Perhaps he was
doing this on behalf of Ozone corporate and Mahendra Gaunekar.
Now in case of any assault or attack on Maggie Silveira and
Sebastian Rodrigues the first suspect will be Manoj Parab and his associates –
Mahendra Gaunekar, Ozone corporate, and Archbishop Felipe Neri Ferrao. It
looked as if he was paid by Mahendra Gaunekar and Ozone corporate to do this
very act as he came charging at Maggie. He gave a threat and he went by saying
“Tucam Kitem tem dakoitam” (See what I’ll do to you). Is this the way the
females are to be treated that too by government servant by dishing out
threats? He should be terminated from his services for going about doing such
activities which are ethically and morally wrong for which he must be terminated
as the activities are in contravention of law.
Goa Chief Minister can take note of this report and arrest
Manoj Parab.
At 2.30 pm police constable along with Manoj Parab’s wife
visited Maggie’s house asking her to report to the Old Goa Police Station.
Maggie asked police to serve call letter. What right police had to ask Maggie
to come to police station without call letter when she herself is attacked by
male government servant? Indeed a sorry state of affairs brought about by prevailing Bamon Raj in Goa.
