However, Katyal said that the trial would continue, despite boycotting.
“There is a virtual speaker who will present their shipments.
We have to hear them too,” Katyal told Toi.
Virtual participants also refused to give them shipment as protests.
“There are no people out there.
In addition, no one in the panel that has an answer to the question that is being raised.
Therefore I do not want to speak,” one of the participants, who chose to virtual mode, told the panel when his name was called called , He offended the objections raised by the previous speaker who had protested the rejection of expert members and administrative officials to answer one of the questions raised by them.
“All your objections are recorded, please do it,” is a reply of a share of every speaker received when he survives any questions, which often causes an angry explosion from the speaker and the crowd that mocked officials.
Another virtual speaker, Sidharth Karapurkar ended his brief submission in protest.
“None of the authorities who bother came to the villages to get factual data for preparation plans.
None, after that, came to the villages to explain the plan.
So, don’t say that CZMP is made for the benefit of the community Goa.
Saying that it was made for Indian capitalists.
The stupid experts and cannot answer any questions.
I hereby end my shipments in protests, “he said, basically, summarizing the views most of the speakers.
