Goa Pradesh Congress Committee Chief Girish Chodankar has said Chief Minister Pramod Sawant by his statement on rapes in Goa has accepted his incompetence to protect the people in the State.
BJP government’s ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhav’ mission once again falls flat. Sawant must apologize for insulting women, he said.
Condemning the Chief Minister’s statement, Girish launched a scathing attack on the BJP government for its failure to maintain law and order in the State.
“There is National Security Act imposed by this Government in South Goa. The entire State is under curfew announced due to Covid pandemic. Despite, the State being under so called surveillance, rapes, murders, dacoities continue almost on daily basis. BJP Government has converted Goa into a criminal destination by patronising the criminal mafia, drug mafia, beggar mafia”, he asserted.
He added: “This is democratic India and every Citizen has fundamental right to move freely at any given time. It is a duty and responsibility of every Government to protect its Citizens. This shameless statement of the Chief Minister to blame the two young girls and their parents after the rape incident at Benaulim, exposes his failure to control the Administration”.
Chodankar said the very fact that a Government servant is involved in the rape incident, exposes that there is absolutely no fear in the minds of Anti-Socials and Criminals. There are reports that a Senior Minister and a Senior BJP Functionary are desperately trying to save one of the accused in the said rape case, he added.
