The 19th February 2008 attack on the Panaji police station by Babush Monserrate was a very serious crime. A horrendous crime against the State, on account of which I was constrained to seek the intervention of the High Court as the devious Babush Monserrate has managed to stall the wheel of justice.
In that case despite a Division Bench of our High Court having on April 24, 2012 declined to quash the criminal proceedings, he deviously managed to move a single Judge of the High Court again and obtain a stay order on December 4, 2014. That stay order has been operating illegally for the last seven years.
Babush Monserrate is also facing criminal charges under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POSCO) Act. He is the first sitting MLA in Goa to face charges under POCSO.
Babush Monserrate has been known to violate every law coming in his way.
In 2005, the then Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had the courage to strip Babush of the TCP portfolio due to the large scale corruption with regard to the Regional Plan.
BJP should think twice before giving Babush a ticket to contest.
