MARGAO

In a six-point resolution passed at a meet held at Lohia Maidan, Margao on Saturday, 'Citizens of Goa' demanded that investigation into the death of Bismarque Dias be done on fast track and without any further delay.

The resolution also demands that the investigation be conducted by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) and appoint Chairman of Human Rights Commission, Goa or a retired judge to monitor the said investigation.

It also includes that immediate profiling of the blood stained vest and mud with blood sample collected by police of Bismarque Dias be executed as soon as possible within 48 hours, while also asking for a lie detector test on the boy.

The resolution also states that the inquiry should be conducted by the Old Goa police station while demanding the suspension of Old Goa PI.

The demands also include immediate de-notification of RP2021 failing which they have warned to intensify the movement throughout Goa.

At the meet, Prajal Sakhardande said Late Bismarque must be declared a 'Saint of Activism' and November 6 as 'Martyrs Day'. Referring to Bismarque as a 'True Goemkar', Sakhardande vowed to continue this fight with the government.

Ajit Singh Rane claimed that Bismarque used to fight to protect human dignity and human rights. Sameer Morajkar from Parra said the system has failed, while giving a clarion call to all Goans to save Goa and be united. Dr Francisco Colaco wanted the police to probe Bismarque's death from all angles while claiming that Bismarque had proved to be a hurdle to many vested interests.

Youth activist Daniela Pinto said this is our land and called on the youth to stand up and fight for Goa while Judith Almeida of Colva Civic and Consumer Forum called on everybody to wake up to save our land for future generations.

Among others who addressed the meeting included Gajanan Naik from Nerul, Jacinto Souza and Madhu Gaonkar.
