MICKKY PACHECO TO KNOCK THE DOORS OF HC IF CRIME BRANCH FAILS TO REGISTER CASE

MARGAO: Former Tourism Minister, Mickky Pacheco has threatened to knock the doors of the High Court if the Crime Branch fails to register a case against the PWD Minister Churchill Alemao in the PWD tenders case and announced plans to loge 10 other criminal complaints against different ministers.

The Benaulim MLA has announced that he would shortly file another complaint against the PWD Minister.  “I am told that the file pertaining to his complaint against Alemao has reached the Goa Police to brass. I hope the police is following the due process of law”, Pacheco said, while addressing newsmen in the city here on Tuesday.

Saying that skeletons will tumble out of the cupboards of ministers in the days ahead, Pacheco said he would sit and watch whether the same government which had asked him resign on false accusations seeks resignations from the ministers facing criminal charges.  “I have given all the documents containing evidence against the PWD minister. Let us see how the police go about the work”, he said, while disclosing plans to approach the High Court demanding action on his criminal complaint.

When asked why he had waited for so long to lodge a criminal case when the alleged manipulation in the PWD manual took place in 2007, Pacheco said “I waited so that I have full proof with me as the matters involves fraud of crores of rupees”.
