Enough is enough, now time has come for deeds

The highest institution for governance in a constitutional democracy is Parliament. The majority ruling party can have its way, but whether they like it or not the elected Opposition must have its say where the Chair/Speaker has to be non- biased and rule of law prevails.

In Goa we have an ex- Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court leading the people’s movement to save Goa from rapid urbanization and dangerous destruction of hills, forests, beaches, flora and fauna and resident’s heritage and way of life. We have former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Justice B.R.Gavai and now former Supreme Court Judge Abhay Oka rallying behind this people’s movement in every town and village in Goa. We appreciate the CM honouring the Citizen’s Charter in words but now the time has come for deeds.
