Goencho Avaz Party demands resignation of Cuncolim MLA

MARGAO: Captain Viriato Fernandes, State Convenor Goencho Avaz Party on Friday demanded the resignation from the Cuncolim MLA Clafasio Dias, stating that the decision of the High Court to quash the FIR registered against Tiatrist Alison Gomes alias Alison de Curtorim is a slap on MLA, who was the complainant.
Briefing the media persons at Margao on Friday he appealed to the police personnel not to be slaves of the politicians.
“Police should remember that the politicians are only for five years but people are forever and hence police should be with the people. If politicians are harassing, speak out yourself and Goencho Avaz will stand with police,” Viriato said.
He said the verdict serves as a strong message to politicians, who use strong-arm tactics and political intimidation to quell people’s opposition. It also serves as a slap in the face to members of the ruling regime, who exploit their position of power by using the Goa police as their personal security, and bouncers against the people.
Sharing his perspective, Captain Viriato said that Tiatrist is the voice of Goans. Their skill and creativity in presenting crucial and relevant issues in an entertaining manner make them one of the most effective mediums of grassroots communication, and agency for creating public opinion.
Alison Gomes alleged that he was harassed by the police after the complaint of MLA Clafasio Dias.
