Dear Sir,
We have seen in the past month a series of untoward events beginning with
communal riots, through the vandalisation of the Comba cross and culminating
finally with the murder of Fr. Ferrao. I wish to point out certain
peculiarities.
1)All the incidents occurred in South Goa.
2) After the communal riots certain politicians started talking of outsiders.
3)There was a Panjim Election
4) Subsequent to the Election there was vandalisation of the Combas Cross and
the priests murder
5)When the murder occurred as if on cue the police blamed and
caught "outsiders".
I am not drawing conclusions. I am merely stating salient facts. We Goans have
no record of Communalism. Instead among the three main Communities there is a
strong sense of fraternity.This is a shame on us.
Regards,
Philip D'Souza
