Panaji: The Congress in Goa on Tuesday said that the hasty transfer of South Goa SP Sunita Sawant by the BJP government is yet another glaring example of how the BJP-RSS ideology is interfering with the administration to protect its divisive agenda.

Sawant was transferred through an order flashed via wireless on Monday night, apparently after she instructed all police stations in her area to gather details about Bajrang Dal workers.

GPCC President Amit Patkar, in a media statement issued here, said that the moment SP Sunita Sawant began collecting information about Bajrang Dal leaders in Goa, the government panicked and immediately transferred her.

“This clearly shows that BJP is not interested in governance but in shielding its ideological allies and suppressing officers who perform their duty with integrity,” he said.

Patkar stated that the Goa Police force is being manipulated to serve the BJP’s political interests instead of upholding the law.

“This is nothing but an act of intimidation against an honest officer who was merely doing her job. The BJP government has once again exposed itself as an enabler of lawlessness, ensuring that no action is taken against fringe elements that threaten Goa’s communal harmony,” he said.

The Congress leader questioned what the BJP government is trying to hide.

“Why is it afraid of a fair investigation into Bajrang Dal leaders? This transfer is proof that the law enforcement agencies in Goa are being used as mere puppets of the BJP to safeguard its false narrative. The people of Goa will not tolerate this blatant misuse of power,” he said.

Patkar said that the Congress party strongly condemns this politically motivated transfer and demands immediate justification from Chief Minister Pramod Sawant.

“We stand in solidarity with officers who work fearlessly in the interest of justice, and we will continue to expose BJP’s attempts to hijack the administration for its communal agenda,” he said.
