Panaji: Opposition Mlaas on Friday walked to the legislative unit wearing a black arm in protest the statement made by the Head of the Sawant Pramod minister in the Gangrape Benaulim case and also to register their protest against the increasing incidence of rape in the state.
During the past seven days, two more rape cases have been reported in the state other than the incident in the Benaulim.
“We protested the rejection of the minister’s chairman to apologize for his statement.
He said the safety and security of children was collective responsibility, but it was not possible,” Fatorda GFP Mla Vijai Sardesai told reporters on the sidelines of the rainy season assembly session.
Sawant on Wednesday, who told the house about the progress made in the investigation of the Benaulim Gangrape case, said, “When a 14-year-old child lives on the beach all night, parents need introspection.
Just because the children don’t listen, we can’t bear it Responsibility for the government and police.
“After being criticized widely, he claimed he was quoted from context.
Sardesai, however, said security and safety was the only police responsibility.
“Let’s just think I was shot on the road.
It can’t be said that I shouldn’t go there because it’s not safe,” he said.
Alleged that there had been a breakdown of law and order in the state, Sardesai asked if Sawant was even aware that after the incidence of Benualim Gangrape, there were two more, one in USGAO and the other in Quepem.
