MARGAO: An irresponsible statement by the Goa Police PRO Atmaram Deshpande that the tribals were all drunk has been urged to be withdrawn. The opposition leader Mr. Manhohar Parrikar burst out at the police for their insensitivity and irresponsibility in making such statements.
Mr. Parrikar said that the matter has been brought to the notice of the Chief Secretary and has urged the police to withdraw the irresponsible statement.
Mr. Parrikar said “On the one side, the government is trying to solve the burning issue. And, we find the police pouring kerosene in fire”.
He said the police force would have been forced to run for cover presuming the tribals were drunk and were carrying gelatins. “Have the police recovered the barrels which carried liquor to the tribals? And, where are the gelatine sticks?” he questioned, while condemning the police for their insensitivity.
Parrikar further said, “This further goes on to show and raises doubts about the seriousness of the police in probing the incident”.
UTAA president Prakash Velip also condemned the statement made Police PRO Atmaram Deshpande that the tribals were drunk.
The BJP jumps on every bandwagon it can, they are more of an opportunists out to destroy communal harmony
