SIT has still not called me: Claude

PANJIM: Goa Foundation director Dr Claude Alvares, whose petition on illegal mining in Goa before the Supreme Court has shut the mining industry for almost three years now, has not been called even once by the Special Investigating Team (SIT) probing the illegal mining scam.

SIT is probing 16-odd cases related to illegal mining, where the Director of Mines Prasanna Acharya is the complainant.
Speaking at a symposium on mining on Friday evening, Alvares said though he is a crucial informant on illegal mining, SIT has failed to question or seek information from him.  
“SIT is nothing but a ‘sit’ appointed by government to do what they want. I have never been invited by SIT even though I have all the documents to prove every illegality and those involved in it. This itself shows the enthusiasm of SIT towards the case,” Alvares said.
