FATORDA: Goa Forward Party (GFP) President and MLA Vijai Sardesai has questioned as why the government is reluctant to permit a judicial investigation into the jobs-for-cash scam, assuming that the Goa government views the Goa Police investigation as objective and unbiased and that it came to the conclusion that there was no political affiliation with the ongoing scam.
The Supreme Court used the phrase “caged parrot” to characterise the CBI’s participation in coal block allocation in 2013, he said, referring to the function of the Goa Police today.
Citing public outrage and the decline in confidence in the Goa Police’s impartial investigation skills, Sardesai reiterated his call for a judicial investigation into the ongoing jobs-for-cash scam.
He said that the public, other prominent leaders, and former Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar all firmly believe that politicians are complicit in the scam.
Sardesai criticised the Goa Police’s lack of autonomy, saying, “The functioning of the Goa Police is like that of a caged parrot.”
