Goa seems to have entered into spring season of arrests of those who express political dissent. Past few days have shown the glimpses of onset of emergency in Goa where Fundamental Rights are placed in suspension if not abrogated outright.
We have witnessed arrests of three lead political dissenters of Goa Adv.Pratima Coutinho, Sanjay Barde and Rama Kankonkar. The tyrannical state though is political, it's motives are econnomic terrorism, intention is psychological warfare.
Goa is headed straight into cesspool of diversity of stinking corruption both moral and economic, executed with brute accuracy by its politicians and their kin and kith.
In the process the stakes are huge. The battle for land is at hand. Battle for language in whatever script can be futile if it's not rooted in battle for land.
Filing of frivolous cases against Rama Kankonkar also attracts provisions section 3 of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, one of the least applied laws in Goa.
Long time ago there was regime in India that believed that Sun never sets on its rule. The rulers went on arresting those dissenting. One man that regime arrested multiple times. His name is M.K.Gandhi. Multiple arrests made him even greater than the greats, Mahatma. Goa Government has just embarked on innings to elevate few amongst the Commons to that status step by step. Arrests are magnificent propellers for greatness for the one in whose chest burns flame of freedom and love for Justice. No Police arrests can doze off kindred spirit. Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison for the cause of freedom from apartheid policies in South Africa.
Bharat Mukti Morcha call upon Goa Government to stop police repression on those expressing dissent in the interests of Political sanity if any.
Repression on People can have unpredictable impacts considering the glimpses of evidence of law and order on Goa has gone for a mighty toss with people issuing threats to bury elected representative alive in Sancoale. Implication of such statements are severe with democracy and Constitution of India being the presitine casualties.
For Goa these spring time of arrests is yet another consequence being annexed through conquest in 1961. These cannot be fruits of Liberation. Wither Liberation? Truly, still Lambert Mascarenhas is valid: sorrowing lies my land.
Bharat Mukti Morcha express support and Solidarity with all the people actively pursuing cause of Justice in various forms in Goa against all kinds of vested interests.
Bharat Mukti Morcha call for quashing of criminal cases against Rama Kankonkar with immediate effect and he be set free from Police custody.
