To,
The Editor,
HERALD,
Panjim-Goa

 
Dear Sir,

Re: Your editorial (H- April 10, 2006) "What is Goan?"

This is to put on record that Goa Su-Raj Party, the newest fledgling 
registered political party of Goa has always been appreciative of your 
editorials since they have maintained Herald's  stand of being very critical 
of Goa's self-centred  politics and its politicians. Needless to say that the 
above editorial too is very much appreciated as it gives the comprehensive  
picture of what is happening to Goa and Goans. 

However, we like to differ with your assumption that Goa Su-Raj Party is 
floundering. We also see that you have equated a registered political party of 
6 years such as the Goa Su-Raj Party with an association more likely 
considered a Non Governmental Organization (NGO) such as the Lok Shakti. We 
like to bring to your kind attention that it takes much more than a mere 
association of a group of people to be registered as a political party with 
the Election Commission of India.

The question of Goa Su-Raj Party floundering on the wayside is out of the 
question because,  for a vessel to flounder, it has to first set sail for a 
destination. For your kind information, Goa Su-Raj Party is still tied at the 
shipyard, getting ready to set sail with its engines being primed and tested 
with sea trials to test the waters, more of such trials  to come in the period 
immediately before us. Besides, as you must know, no vessel that is being made 
ready in the shipyard to set sail in the immediate future has a full blown 
complement of its intended crew but only a few top rankers to see that 
everything conforms to the laws, rules and regulations pertaining to  the 
seaworthiness of the vessel.

Let us amply assure you that the keel of the Goa Su-Raj Party has been 
specailly fortified with 'steel' that is not likely to bend. The vessel is 
also being fitted  with  'state of the art' equipment that will require for 
the maiden run when it is ready to set sail. At the moment the rest of the 
crew members that this vessel will require is being actively considered for 
their rugged stomachs to weather out any and all rough seas.

We shall be highly obliged if you will publish our views that we were forced 
to bring out in view of your comments in the above editorial  on the 
seaworthiness of the Goa Su-Raj Party so that the people of Goa may know that 
it will be very much safer for them to make their bookings for the maiden 
voyage to sail around Goa with Goa Su-Raj Party and around other destinations 
of the world, if desired.       

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

for Goa Su-Raj Party

Edit:

.... So what is Goan? Yes, this question assumes importance that even the 
local Goan political party - the United Goan Democratic Party is floundering 
on many issues. Other local Goan parties like Lok Shakti and Goa Su-Raj are 
floundering on the wayside, more apt to just raise their voice occasionally. 
And if at the top there is no on fighting for what is Goan, then it is 
surprising that there is nothing left in Goa. Because if Goans cannot fight 
for Goa, who will??
