Our Chief Minister Pramod Sawant led a bike rally in Mormugao recently in connection with the ' 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign leading up to Independence day. First and foremost no permission was sought from the concerned authorities for holding this rally; second, most of the riders who had joined in were not wearing helmets, why some pillion riders were even seen indulging in acrobatics while waving the flag, perhaps they got carried away by their patriotic fervour. Thirdly the pillion riding cameramen who was recording the proceedings was seated back to front putting his own life and the lives of others in danger. All of the above instances constitute illegality and are punishable under the Motor Vehicles Act. If the lawmakers, MLA Sankalp Amonkar too was part of the rally, themselves are lawbreakers then what right do they have to ask others to abide by the law ? Point to ponder.
