All I can can here is WELL DONE once again, Mr. Syjay Gupta. If anyone has not told you yet, you may find out from Suhasini Prabhugaonkar that I have blown my top at the TB Cunha Hall when I addressed the meet called to discuss Savordem/Curchorem riots and action to be taken.
After blasting speaches from Dr. Oscar Rebello and Ulhas Buyao, I have openly said the following. Flashing your GT front page, I have pointed out the two CRIMINALS who are solely responsible for this catastrophe. Manohar Parrikar and Pratapsing Rane. I have called them the coroborators and conspirators who need to be banished from this land of peace. I have point blank pointed out to the audience, among whom was Ex-MP Adv. Amrut Kansar, that this rot started in 1961 when the most communal people took the helm of Goa through the Maharashtra Gomantak Party. I told the audience that MGP WAS COMMUNAL, IS COMMUNAL AND WILL BE COMMUNAL. And I invited anyone to challenge me on that. Since none came up I further elaborated my statement by telling the audience that if MGP was staunchly non-communal, it would not be gobbled by the communal BJP. The next salvo I fired was against the confirmed RSS Goa freedom fighter Mr. Naguesh Karmali who by the way was present for the meet. I told the audience that Naguesh Karmali is a blot on the reputation of TB Cunha, the freedom fighter, for his involvement in the destruction of Fontainhas and that he should be thrown out from the TB Cunha Hall management. Again there was no challenge from anyone nor from Mr. Karmali himself. Later when I ran into him, he tried to justify his actions vis a vis Fontainhas. I asked him just one question. Why did you not bring this up after the liberation? Why did you not bring this up one decade after liberation? Why after 40 odd years and when the RSS BJP was ruling? He had no answers and he went away. In his speech, Adv,. Amrut Kansar who was first MGP, then GLP (Gomant Lok Poxh) and now a congressman perhaps told the audience that it was MGP who imported staunchly committed communalists to Goa in the form of Hindu priests (Bhats) from Maharashtra to poison the minds of the people. Pandurang Kunkolkar, the leader of the ST community in Goa spoke openly that political parties including Bandodkar's MGP have baited the people with religious incentives of building temples and other religious places and community houses and have perenially reaped the benefits in terms of votes. This should change he said. Minguel Branganza ( as well as Ulhas Buyao) condemned SUNAPARANT, the Konkani daily edited by Sandesh Prabhudessai for its communal overtone by giving space to Subash Velingkar who is the totally poisoned RSS bigot. With these open statements the busybees of Goan Identity like Dattaraj Salgaokar, Datta Naik of Lok Shakti and others got smeared badly. The unique message that was given in this interaction is that RELIGION SHOULD BE OUT OF GOVERNANCE. This is what GOASURAJ is proudly professing and promoting through its ROAD MAP FOR GOA and its general outlook. If Goa wants to preserve its traditional peace and harmony, it must throw out the contaminators in NATIONAL PARTIES and screen those that come up as REGIONAL parties for communal seeds well enconshed in the heart to reap political gains. DOWN WITH THE CONGRESS AND THE BJP The rest will follow suit on their own. Floriano Lobo Goasuraj
