Anti-IIT: NGO condemns brutal action
of PI who trampled over lady protesters
MARGAO
Goencho Ekvott has condemned the brutal action of PI Sagar Ekoskar wherein he trampled over the unarmed lady protesters, most of whom were senior citizens at Shel-Melauli while they lay sprawled on the ground as a mark of protest against the proposed IIT project.
This unprecedented incident by this Police Inspector has tarnished the image of the Goa Police force who thereafter instead of showing restraint resorted to lathi-charge and fired multiple tear gas shells to disperse the villagers.
Goencho Ekvott also condemned the attitude of Chief Minister Pramod Sawant who is adamant in systematically destroying the natural environment by replacing it with man-made concrete structures that are bound to displace the indigenous people of Melauli all of whom are incidentally Goans from their ancestral land.
The NGO has appealed to all residents of Goa to 'rise as one people' against the most despotic government that Goa has ever had since its liberation from Portuguese rule.
“Let those in power know that 2022 is not too far away and the people will vent their anger through the EVMs/Ballot Boxes”, the NGO added.
