MARGAO: Congress officials have said the criminal complaint filed by Deputy Chief Minister of Goa Chandrakant alias Babu Kavlekar of hacking and tampering his mobile phone is a clear cut admission by him that the law and order situation has collapsed in the State of Goa, indirectly pointing out to the failure of the Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant who holds the Home portfolio.
Congress has demanded that the CM immediately resign accepting moral responsibility for his failure to even protect the mobile phone of his own deputy chief minister.
Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) President Girish Chodankar said that Kavlekar has stated in his complaint to the Police Inspector of Crime Branch that he was fast asleep when his mobile was hacked and tampered and a video with vulgar material was posted on a WhatsApp group named “Villages of Goa”.
“This particular claim of the Dy CM needs to be probed thoroughly as it appears that even the highly secured residence of Chandrakant alias Babu Kavlekar is vulnerable to anti- socials and criminals and can cause a serious threat to the life of Deputy Chief Minister and his family,” claimed Chodankar.
This particular incident exposes the inefficiency and incompetency of the Police Department under the BJP government, he further stated.
"The government must come clean on the exact location where the Dy CM was sleeping as claimed by him in his complaint letter and also reveal who was besides him and must also explain to the people of Goa, how the hackers could get access to his mobile phone demanded,” Chodankar.
"We demand a high level inquiry into this entire episode on fast track basis as the vulgar video posted by the Dy CM which is lascivious or appeals to prurient interest and has effect to deprave and corrupt persons who have seen the video posted directly from his mobile phone," demanded Girish.
Chodankar said that the people of Goa are now convinced that the BJP is shielding the criminal mafia, drug mafia, beggar mafia, rape mafia, etc, all across the State.
“With the vulgar video being posted from the mobile phone of the Dy CM and the government authorities keeping silent, it is clear that the BJP is also shielding the porn mafia in Goa,” Chodankar added.
