Panaji: Six
legislators, including a cabinet minister, Friday rode on their
heavy motorcyles into the state assembly complex, allegedly
without wearing the mandatory helmets, triggering a controversy.
The transport minister promised a probe and action.
The legislators - Carlos Almeida, Pramod Sawant and Glenn Ticlo (Bharatiya
Janata Party), Rohan Khaunte and Avertano Furtado (both
Independents) and Mickky Pacheco (Goa Vikas Party) - drove from
Panaji to the assembly complex, across the Mandovi river in a sort
of a mini rally on their heavy duty cruisers from Enfield Bullets
to Harley Davidson motorcycles to attend the Friday sitting of the
budget session.
Asked by media persons about how they could drive without helmets
in violation of traffic norms, Ticlo said: "If we were not wearing
helmets, then the traffic policemen who were on the road should
have done their job and stopped us."
While Ticlo, Furtado and Carlos Almeida rode Bullet motorcycles
(with Sawant riding pillion on one of the motorcycles), Pacheco
and Khaunte drove Harleys.
Both the two independents and Pacheco are supporting the BJP-led
coalition government.
Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar and Speaker Rajendra Arlekar
claimed they were not aware of the alleged indiscretion.
Asked to comment, Transport Minister Sudin Dhavalikar said that if
the erring legislators were found guilty, action would be taken
against the lawmakers under the motor vehicles act.
