People of Goa want the rule of law, not child-rearing lessons from the CM: GAP

VASCO: Goencho Avaaz Women’s Cell expressed shock and anger at CM Pramod Sawant’s attempt to divert attention from the breakdown of law and order under his watch by advising parents to morally police their teenage daughters.
Carmen Correia, head of GA Women’s Cell, said that Goan parents do not need lessons in child-rearing from Home Minister Pramod Sawant. Instead, what is called for is for him to focus on doing his duty by rectifying and repairing the completely broken down law and order situation in the State. This is evident from the spate of rapes that Goa has had to endure recently.
“While the Goa Police have claimed success in cracking the Benaulim rape case, the question to be asked here is why persons from all over the country feel comfortable coming to Goa and committing such horrendous crimes against fellow human beings. The answer perhaps lies in the lack of respect for the law enforcement abilities of the Goa police under the present Home Minister,” she said.
She said that in fact, in his avatar of Chief Minister, the Home Minister has been pushing the perception of Goa as a hub for casinos, rave parties, and all the sleaze that goes along with it.
“In short, Goa has been marketed as a sin city, where anything goes, and the law appears to be conspicuous by its absence. Now the chickens are coming home to roost, and as usual, it is the innocent Goans who have to pay the price,” she says.
The CM’s brilliant solution that minor daughters should be kept indoors only emphasises that he has no intention of remedying the situation, she says
