Speaker Gives 3 Weeks To Churchill, Reginaldo

Speaker Pratapsing Rane who has revived the disqualification petition filed before him against Churchill Alemao and Reginaldo Aleixo Lourenco gave the MLAs three weeks time to reply.
Churchill’s bête noire and Nationalist Congress Party MLA Micky Pacheco had filed the disqualification petition against the duo for joining the Congress Party without merging the Save Goa Front on whose ticket they were elected to the Goa Legislative Assembly.
The petition filed in October 2008 was kept on a back burner and had to be revived after Pacheco made a fresh application referring to Election Commission’s recognition to Save Goa Front as a regional party.
