FEAR OF LAW HAS FADED: YURI ALEMAO
Reacting to the incident, Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao said that the fear of law has faded. Alemao wrote on his X handle, “The incident of miscreants threatening people at gunpoint in broad daylight at Aquem-Margao proves that the fear of law among criminals has faded. @BJP4Goa govt has turned Goa into ‘Goonda Raj’ with no control over crimes and criminals. How would this incapable govt provide safety to people?”
