is there s link to the Assembly speech? I saw some clips on FB but could get his whole speech?
However. From the clips, saying that Goans are migrating abroad for "sandass" cleaning or it could imply as "odd" jobs.is not civil not charitable to Goans going abroad. When jobs are at a discount in Goa, making a livelihood through whatever means is the best, maybe not the only, option. One may not be able to be fully patriotic on an empty stomach. I have met Gujarati business-oriented people newly migrated to Toronto.
