Panaji: Health minister, Vishwajeet Rane has directed his personal security officer (PSO) to withdraw the complaint against two women who allegedly abused him at Hospicio hospital, Margao.He also publicly urged the police not to initiate any inquiry or proceedings against them. "I thought it over and decided it was not worth filing a complaint," he told reporters on Tuesday.Rane said he was not aware that his PSO was going to file a complaint and said that there is no provision that prevents a PSO from withdrawing the same."I think this needs to be ignored and urge the police not to take action in this regard. I have asked the PSO to put this issue to rest. Somewhere this behavior is not normal and from my side I must ensure that no ladies or senior citizens are put to hardship because of some verbal abuse. Being in politics, one is used to this type of behavior,'' he said, adding, "He had actually gone to help the women who he found were fighting with the security."When asked whether he was worried about the backlash on social media, he said he wasn't. " I think they need help. That's not normal behavior," he said.
