(GT) RESPONSE: The Marathi faction lost the last time round when Konkani prevailed and became the official language of Goa. Their supporters including the C.M., it appears are not down and out and want to bring back their argument. We had enough bloodshed and martyrs the last time round, any more and the C.M. will and should be held responsible.
