Adv. Aires Rodrigues has accused the Deputy Speaker of the Goa Legislative Assembly Isidore Fernandes of blatantly lying over his Portuguese Nationality by falsely claiming that the document obtained from Portugal was a fabricated one.
Pointing out that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant who is now armed with a very able and no-nonsense Advocate General has vowed to deliver Good Governance, Adv. Rodrigues has urged the Chief Minister to walk his talk by immediately sending to the Portuguese consulate at Altinho for verification of the Portuguese nationality document of Isidore Fernandes which is now in public domain which would only expose that the Deputy Speaker is misleading the people.
Adv. Rodrigues has stated that instead of honorably demitting office as MLA and Deputy Speaker Isidore Fernandes had brought further disgrace to these high constitutional posts which he is not entitled to occupy having obtained Portuguese Nationality on 22ndApril 2014.
Stating that it was very outrageous that Isidore Fernandes had hoodwinked the people of Goa in holding constitutional posts by faking to be a Indian National despite having obtained Portuguese Nationality, Adv. Rodrigues has urged Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to immediately sack Isidore Fernandes and to ensure that he forthwith refunds all the State emoluments unlawfully and so deviously pocketed by him since April 2014 after obtaining Portuguese Nationality.
Demanding that the Government should not unduly and unlawfully shield Isidore Fernandes, Adv. Rodrigues has reiterated that he would be compelled to initiate criminal proceedings against the Deputy Speaker Isidore Fernandes to ensure that the Rule of law and Sanity in public life prevails while the provisions of the Indian Constitution are not violated.
Expose the proof you have rather than squealing.
