Gerard, not only is the bill unconstitutional but it is also a reflection of TCP Minister Vishwajit Rane's dictatorship. He wants to brazenly ensure that there is no one to counter his highhandedness. Sadly your newspaper, The Hindustan Times, is appeasing him. Why was your report on the land conversion buried by your HT bosses? The breach of privilege threat is a flimsy excuse. There's something deeper here.

Hello Mr. Gerard thank you for this.

Great writing.

I have a question, how are foreigners buying land in Goa, is there a provision or they buy via secondary ways with local Indians in picture ?

I don't have an answer for that unfortunately. But the data cited by the story certainly suggests that they are. Perhaps they may be OCI card holders, or via intermediaries.

Does intermediaries mean those given power of attorney?
