Panaji, Oct 13: The defamation notice issued to four
Goan newpapers was `intimidation to fall in line with the
goverment', Rajya Sabha member from Goa, Eduardo Faleiro said
here today.
"If the notice is challenged in the court of law, it will
invoke severest judicial strictures", Faleiro told reporters
here alleging that the centre and the BJP-ruled states were
doing the same thing.
He alleged that the Goa Chief Minister was in the habit
of making charges against his political opponents, `but did
not like the opponents to clarify them'.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Manohar Parriker today diverted
from the practice of briefing the press after the cabinet meet
due to the fact that the Goa Union of Journalists (GUJ) has
decided to wear black badges whenever Parrikar addresses a
press conference.
The GUJ, to protest the defamation notice, has also
organised a silent morcha tomorrow which will go through the
main streets of the city and culminate into a meeting at Azad
Maidan.
