Goa tourism minister slams CM over rape
India Blooms News Service
Panaji, Jan 28 (IBNS) Goa Tourism Minister Mickky Pacheco has flayed the state’s chief minister over the rapes of foreign tourists visiting the famous sea beach destination.
The revolt of Pacheco followed the rape of a nine year old Russian girl on Tuesday evening in one of the beaches and recent such attacks on Russians and other nationals.
According to TV reports, Pachecho on Thursday said that the High Command should take action against those who can't handle their portfollios.
He said he had demanded a meeting between Union Home Minister and Tourism minister but the Chief Minister Digamber Kamat did not respond.
Pachecho said he is tired of the poor law and order situation in the state.
Earlier, the Goa government has sent a detailed report to the Centre in connection with the rape.
Union Tourism minister Kumari Selja had dubbed the incident as "extremely sad and shameful" and demanded immediate action.
Meanwhile, the counsel of the victim and Russian Consulate Vikram Verma said since there was no conviction in the past and no deterrence for such crime, there is growing attack.
“The attackers know they will get away with it because the visitors are on a limited visa and will go back,” he said.
The Russian embassy in New Delhi has threatened to issue a travel advisory to its citizens against India if crimes against its nationals did not stop in places like Goa.
