Panaji – “I hope Hon’ble Speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly, Ramesh Tawadkar, will take cognizance of my second reminder and swiftly decide on the disqualification petition pending before him. I do not wish to be compelled to approach the Court to seek justice against his failure to protect democracy,” stated Congress President Amit Patkar.
In his second reminder letter submitted to Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar today, Patkar emphasized the need for prompt action, warning of potential court intervention if the matter is not addressed.
This follows a similar reminder sent a month ago after the Speaker’s verdict on the disqualification petition against Michael Lobo and Digambar Kamat. Another pending petition filed by Patkar concerns eight defecting Congress MLAs who joined the BJP in 2022. The Speaker has yet to begin hearings on this petition.
Congress President Amit Patkar is urging the Speaker to expedite the hearing and render a decision on the petition.
