Parrikar threatening people from hospital, alleges Congress

September 21, 2018 19:22

The Congress on Friday alleged that ailing Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar is threatening people from his hospital room.

The party also demanded a medical bulletin on the status of the chief minister, who after being hospitalised in Goa, Mumbai and New York over the last few months, is now being treated for advanced pancreatic cancer at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi.

He may be in the hospital yes. I hope you (Parrikar) are very well but I am getting messages that while sitting in the hospital, you are calling people, threatening them, Congress observer for Goa A Chellakumar said. This is the first direct assault by the Congress.

The allegation comes a day after Vijai Sardesai, President of the Goa Forward Party, a coalition ally, told the media that Parrikar spoke to him over the phone on Thursday over administrative matters.

Chellakumar also said that in view of the chief ministers alleged involvement in a Rs 1.44 lakh crore illegal mining scam which is being probed by the Goa Lokayukta, he should assure the people that he would forfeit his properties if he is found guilty.

I pray to God even now, let Manohar Parrikar get well soon. Let God give him a long life, but it is my duty also to remind him. All these days you initiated so many actions on so many former ministers. In all the corruption charges, you filed complaints. Moreover you have attached some of their properties also. Now it is your turn, Chellakumar said.
