Gram sabha at Cansaulim disrupted by rowdies and anti social elements; Dr Marconi Correia roughed up and manhandled
It’s shocking to see how the Builders-Politicians-Government Machinery nexus are getting blatantly virulent, anti-people and openly collusive in their strategy to push their agenda through even of it means attacking our villagers openly at Gram Sabha meetings. The latest reports in newspapers of what transpired at yesterday’s (22nd August) Gram Sabha meeting in Cansaulim is an indication of what lengths this evil nexus will go through to push their nefarious scheming trough.
Sunday’s gram sabha of the village panchayat of Cansaulim Arrossim Cuelim was abrubtly adjourned after a mob of unruly supporters of a builder and some elected panches including Martha Saldanha disrupted the meeting by attacking and intimidating the villagers.
The brave villagers of Cansaulim who have been dealing with this evil nexus have over the last year been dealing with threats, intimidation and immense hardships as Aboobakr Shaikh has literally unleashed a reign of terror with the political patronage that he enjoys from MLA Mauvin Godinho. Mauvin Godinho’s cousin Builder Aggie Alcacoas of Queeny Realty Estate is actually the one promoting the Gonsalves-Dias Gate and the Queeny Meadows project in Cansaulim. No one is being spared includuing the old and the helpless like InacXavier Fernandes or Father Randall Barretto and now even The Gram Sabha members including Dr. Marconi Correia are being targeted openly!
How can the Government machinery, funds and backing so openly be used by Mauvin Godinho who at a meeting held earlier this year warned the villagers of Cansaulim that Aboobakr Shaikh was his friend and the villagers should not oppose the development that Abbobakr has planned for the village of Cansaulim? In order to circumvent the High Court’s recent declaration that no licences be granted for new construction without proper infrastructure for treating garbage, MLA Godinho has shamelessly demanded that 100,000 square metres of scarce land be made available to him in his Constituency to treat garbage from 6 villages including Cansaulim! It only exposes the lengths that he will go to benefit his builder friends and cousins.
The so-called builder Aboobakr Shaikh alias Babloo has unleashed terror on the villagers of Cansaulim. At the recent July 30th meeting that the Cansaulim villagers held along with the GBA, Dr Marconi Corriea, Sheela Gracias (daughter of the ex-SP) and others exposed this evil nexus and the Cansaulim Villagers Committee was formed to thwart these destructive forces from going about their nefarious plans to destroy the village. This has resulted in this evil nexus that is operating ready to go to any lengths to push their mega-projects through.
Please voice your support for these brave villagers in Cansaulim who have stood up to oppose this evil Builders-Politicians-Government Machinery nexus that seeks to destroy their beautiful village. The MLA of Cortalim Constituency under whose backing Aboobakr Shaikh has unleashed a reign of terror and not stopping at anything even using goons to attack the Villagers at the Gram Sabha needs to give an explanation for his actions in this whole affair.
Villagers of Cansaulim are simply shocked at the face of the mob and goondasim which has infiltrated their peaceful village. They were heard commenting that the new faces at the Gram sabha were hired goons brought in by the builder and the elected panchayat members to thwart the democratic process in the village by stifling the sane voice of the people by the sheer use of brute muscle power. This is unlawful and a murder of democracy! The authorities in charge of Panchayat affairs in Goa need to probe into this unlawful act and put a stop to it. Day after day we see the same story unfolding in all our villages of Goa where the politicians working with the Builders are all out to destroy our villages! Does the Government of Goa care to heed the voices of it’s people? We need to stand united to flight this evil nexus and expse it for what it is.
To the brave villagers of Cansaulim we are with you in your struggle.
Please voice your support for the Cansaulikars and condemn the builder-politician-Government Machinery nexus!
I think all the Goans should support the Cansaulim People and not only condemn the builder-politician nexus but reject them right down. NO should be the answer.
ReplyDeleteGoas politicians are the biggest scums in this world. We have to stop this type of projects and buildings in our areas. Do not welcome any politician to your villages. Put up sign boards saying "GOA'S POLITICIANS/MINISTERS UNWELCOME"
ReplyDeleteTo Anti-national Aboobakr Shaikh alias Babloo Chamcha of Mauvin Godhino stop all your goondagiri agianst Goans and go back to your country in Yemen. You are bought in India By Nizam of Hydrebad to fights against India during partition and Independence. Stop the work in cansaulim, why you are showing you strength to Old calm person like Dr. Marconi Correia. We Goans will smash you one day
ReplyDeleteThe villagers of this pristine village should know the power of people, it can and will deliver what people want. Goonda-ism will not prevail for long. The unity of the villagers will drive these evils out only if one does not succumb to political crumbs and left overs normally thrown by these politicians. Congress party is not the party of the poor masses but of the feudals. Congress is going to turn India and Goa in particular like that of Mexico. Sincere advice, do not vote these old rogs back to power.
ReplyDeleteThe destruction of Goa that is aided by our corrupt Politicians Must be made to stop Now. Without a second thought all Goans must get together and Support each other. The message is clear to these politicians Goans have had enough. Either stop the gundagiri or face the wrath of the innocent Goans.
ReplyDeleteWho has allowed all these outsiders to interfere into our legal affairs. They should have dug his grave on the spot. Goa does not need any Yemenis around us and to boss over us.
ReplyDeleteTime is running out for Goans because this is a very dangerous development and again I have to remind you that there is a lack of unity amongst us. How does Aboobakr Shaikh happen to reach this village? I think one of our Judas's sold this village for his own selfish gain. Why cannot we reside in our own traditional Goan homes with greenery all around? Why built projects which will destroy the basic fabrics of our villages and make us strangers in our own village. These villages where preserved by our ancestors. So Gaonars, start thinking and think fast.
ReplyDeleteShame on MLA Mauvin Godinho for destroying Cnasaulim village through his cosuin Aggie Alcacaos and Abobakr Shaikh.
ReplyDeleteThe sorry state of affairs that we see in Cansaulim and other villages of Goa is because the builders and the Panchayat members with the backing of the Government of Goa and the Government of Machinery are hell bent on pushing through these housing projects. Corruption and kickbacks are rampant and it is obvious to all how this evil nexus works.
ReplyDeleteTake the case of the Gonsalves-Dias Gates Project in Cansaulim itself, if one follows the reports it is obvious that there has been a deriliction of duty not only on the path of the Cansaulim Panchayat but also the Town and Country Planning Department and the Directorate of Panchayats with direct intervention coming for MLA Mauvin Godinho who openly has been working to protect the interests of his cousin Aggie Alcacoas.
Sarpanch Jose Manuel Fernandes has not followed on the mandate of the Gram Sabha, records have been fudged and resolutions that have been passed have not been recorded.
A stop order that the Sarpanch issued to Aboobakr Shaikh (who is nothing but Aggie Alcacoas man) and then mysteriously disappeared.
Martha Saldhana a Panch member who openly and unashamedly backs Aboobakr Shaikh the builder has been pressuring the Sarpanch along with her stooges like Ferwin Saldanha (better known all over as bonkan bott)and some of the others have consciously chosen to pressurise the Sarpanch to follow their mandate instead of that of the Gram Sabha.
The High Court should order an inquiry into this whole affair in the Cansaulim Pancahayat and this sordid saga of corruption, breach of law, attack on democratic traditions and constitutional rights will be exposed.
For the 22nd August meeting the Secretary got himself admitted in hospital as he would have some answering to do.
The villagers opposing this project have been given the run-around by the Panchayat, TCP and even the Directorate of Panchayats.
Finally does anyone know where Fr. Valmiki Gonsalves-Dias is? He and his brother Stuart Gonsalves-Dias sit pretty while being responsible for the destruction that they are wrecking on Cnasaulim not just the environment but it's very social fabric. They bear the moral responsibility for all the attacks, intimidation, harassment from aboobakr Shaikh and these goons that are being meted out on the villagers of Cansaulim including that on the old, the weak, the widows, even Fr. Randall Barretto and now Dr Marconi Correia and others that were attacked at the Cansaulim Gram Sabha recently.
There is a God and He sees it all!

ReplyDeleteThe Cansaulim Panchayat members Martha Saldanha, Ferwin Saldanha and the others backing the builder in the Gonsalves-Dias Gates Project and going against the Gram Sabhas proccedings are murdering democracy and as such need to be held accountable for their actions. Everyone knows how these crooks operate as they have already been granted flats and received huge payemts for supporting the builder.
ReplyDeleteThe owners of the property name Stuart Gonsalves-Dias and Fr. Valmiki Gonsalves-Dias are responsible for destroyng the village by teaming up with Aboobakr Shaikh and Aggie Alcocoas (Queeny Realty Estates) to further these projects.
If anyone has Fr. Valmiki Gonsalves-Dias e-mail address could you please post it so that we could let him know what he and his brother are doing is wrong and against the teachings of the Church. Their own siblings are contesting the sale and development of their ancestral properties. that is why they have gone to these crooks Aboobakr Shaikh and Aggie Alcacoas (Mauvin Godinho's cousin).
Martha Saldanha is well known for being a biggest crook. She with her Chamchas Ferwin Saldanha and the rest have claimed that the decisions of the Panchayat members and the Gram Sabha resolutions that wer epassed asking the Panchayat to stop the Gonsalves-Dias Project do not hold! The Srapanch Jose Manuel Fernandes is a spineless wimp who gets intimidated by Martha's bullying.
ReplyDeleteThat "Bonkan bott Ferwin Saldanha" and that shrew Martha Saldanha and the rest of those crooks in the Cansaulim Panchayat along with the chicken-hearted Sarpanch Jose Manuel Fernandes will soon be exposed for what they are!
We are with the Cansaulim villagers in their fight to save their village
ReplyDeleteFor all those who have invested in the illegal Gonsalves-Dias Project at Cottar Cabnsaulim Survey 17/3 as well as the other Queeny Meadows project be warned. You'll stand to loos your money soon. Please share this with all!
ReplyDeleteA court case has been filed against Aboobakr Shaikh (Babloo), Aggie Alcacoas Qunney Realty Estate) and Stuart Gonsalves-Dias and his wife Lorna, and Fr. Valmiki Dias-Gonsalves. Ownership of this property vests with not just the twop brothers but also their 4 sisters and their family members. The two brothers have illegally sought to dispose and evelop these properties. That is why they have used goons and crooks like Aboobakr Shaikh and Aggie Alcacoas who have got Panch members like the hag shrew Martha Saldanha, Ferwin Saldanha (bonkam bott) and others in their pay roll. That is why Aggie's cousin Mauvin Godinho has been backing these thugs and their "development" for Goa.
Notices have been served on Aboobakr Shaikh (Babloo), Aggie Alcacoas (Queeny Realty Estates) , Fr. Valmiki Gonsalves-Dias, Stuart Gonsalves-Dias and his wife Lorna to cease and desist.
The Government of Goa needs to launch an investigation into the attacks on Dr. Marconi Correia and the Gram Sabha members by Aboobakr Shaikh's goondas from outside Goa as well as local thugs like Adrian Almeida.
ReplyDeleteActions of Sarpanch Jose Manuel Fernandes bowing to pressure from the likes of Panch Members Martha Saldanha, Ferwin Saldanha and others needs to be investigated.
Likewise Mauvin Godinho using Government machinery and funds to push these projects because of Queeny Realty's Aggie Alcacoas being involved needs to be investigated.
Who would want to trust his money with Aboobakr Shaikh a goon and Guilford Dias a matka bookie (who are nothing but Aggie Alcaocoas stray dogs) given that their history is well known? They get goondas from outside Goa to Gram Sabha meetings in Cansaulim to attack the innocent, elderly and helpless villagers. They attack priests like Fr Randall Barretto from the village, old widows and elderly men!
ReplyDeleteNisha you could be a good contributer to this site. I have seen you above comment converted into an article and it is really beautiful. You could write your articles regularly as this fearless site is for Goans and the Truth.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandesh Gaonkar.
ReplyDeleteMore of us need to speak out in support of Cansaulim, Carmona, and other Goan villages before it's too late. The Politician-Builder-Government Machinery nexus is very strong and they'll destroy Goa it's social fabric and our very identity.
Please write to our local newspapers condemning their actions and letting them know that is not the development we seek for our villages and for Goa!
Herald has again blocked the comments section. Looks like there is some politicians hand in this. They don't want us to educate the general public. If Herald respects the sentiments of its readers than it will reopen the comments feature and allow us to exercise freedom of speech.
ReplyDeleteJoao, I have some of my good strong friends working for Herald. I just enquired today what had happened. They told me that the Politicians and the Goa Police forced them to shut down the comments section. Anyway we have Niz Goenkar whom they cannot shut. Only thing is that on this forum we must not use badwords and vulgar language.
