The Union Cabinet on Wednesday gave ex-post facto approval for naming Greenfield International Airport Mopa in Goa as 'Manohar International Airport--Mopa, Goa'
To fulfil the cherished aspirations of the people of the State of Goa, the Chief Minister of Goa had conveyed to the Centre a unanimous decision of the state Cabinet to name the airport ‘Manohar International Airport.
The renaming as Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP-IDSA) by the defence minister, who is the President of the Institute, follows the unanimous decision by the general body earlier this year to effect the change in the memory of Parrikar.
After four and a half years in political oblivion, however, Pacheco, a former seamster who specialised in stitching wedding gowns, is now tailoring an electoral comeback with the help of the Congress party, which he joined earlier this month.
The Congress' demand came two days after the Goa Lokayukta recommended an inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Parrikar's successor and BJP leader Laxmikant Parsekar into the matter.
Parrikar is currently undergoing treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer at New Delhi's All India Institute of Medical Sciences.
Dhavalikar expressed confidence that Parrikar would resolve issues confronting the Goa government "one by one".
The Congress on Friday alleged that ailing Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar is "threatening people" from his hospital room.
Rajnath Singh had also spoken to the doctors who are supervising his treatment and wished Parrikar a speedy recovery.
With CM Manohar Parrikar admitted at the AIIMS in Delhi, the opposition Congress has said it is going to seek dismissal of the BJP-led government.
