BENAULIM: Former Benaulim MLA Francisco Xavier Pacheco today has filed a compliant Revolutionary Goans for Exploiting Children/Minors during the Padayatra rally from 27th November 2020 to 30th November 2020.
“Revolutionary Goans are using children as “Captive Audience” in the Padayatra Rally. Children should in fact be protected under the Legal provisions of “Juvenile Justice Act”. Children should not be allowed to be roped in for any rallies. Participation in rallies by children in itself is a threat to the children’s safety” the complaint by Pacheco states
He further said that the biggest violation by the Revolutionary Goans is the mobilization of children and the use of children to sing/ chant campaign slogans like UZZO . They are showcasing children on the Padayatra campaign trail. Revolutionary Goans are bringing children/infants to the Padayatra in an open arena and provoking children to dislike other political parties/ NGO’s other organizations.
Pacheco has further sought investigation into these allegations and demanded action against Revolutionary Goans.
