A VERY HAPPY FEAST TO ALL THE READERS AND WRITERS ON THIS GREAT DAY OF OUR LADY OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.BOAS FESTAS
Very well said, a few months ago there was an article can't recall the heading, about requesting all the goans overseas to form a formidable party in goa and do away all the problems you had mentioned although not all,but nobody replied it was only GOA SURAJ who was in praise for that article, the article also called upon allthe goan overseas to help the unemployed youth of goa jobs, be it overseas or in goa. Just like the Mizoram National Front who won a clear majority in the elections and defeated the other parties can't we goans learn that we do not require other outside parties to dictate terms on us be it renaming of roads,or such strange issues, can't we display our talents by becoming a unified force and organise such a strong political party where by all the problems mentioned by Mr. Jerry Fernandes can be sorted out.Time for change or should we say KEDNAM TO DIS ETOLO . Lastly Mr. Jerry , didn't you feel great when goans come together and get united positively on a photo issue,(keeping all things aside as mentioned by you just for a second?)
