This is in response to the above mentioned article by Godfrey Gonsalves. First of all we in Kuwait at Kuwait Konknni Kendr admire Mr. Gonsalves for his campaign in support of Romi Konkani and lend our full support for his campaign. We also give our full support to everyone who is fighting for the due recognition of Konkani in Roman script including Dalgado Acadeny, Stephens Konknni Kendr and our Tiatrists.
We strongly condemn Adv. Uday L. Bhembre who heads the "Vichar Manch" for opposing the due recognition to Romi Konkani. We urge every Romi supporter not only in Goa but also all over the World to consider Uday Bhembro as traitor and "chor" of Konkani. Let it be known to him and all his communal colleagues and friends that unless Romi script Konkani is recognised, Konkani language will never remain as Konkani language. The fall and extinction of Konkani in Goa will be the creation of Uday Bhembro and men like him. Let all the Konkani writers and tiatrists raise this issue of Uday Bhembro in every platform they climb. Tiatrists must start singing on Uday Bhembro as it was done by earlier great tiatrists against those who opposed Konkani. I hope Prince Jacob and his collegues will show their true colours of Romi Konkani and not to act in this area as Dr. Jeckeyl and Mr. Hyde. The reason of this statement is this that many of the current self appointed princes and princesses, kings and queens of Konkani stage are capable of doing any nonsense against Konkani if their selfish ambitions are fulfilled. And many amongst us know the tiatrists' true colours as I do. We also demand full support for Romi Konkani from all the Romi script Konkani MLAs and for this all those who elected them should pressurise their MLAs to support this cause. Once again Kuwait Konknni Kendr support all the actions taken in support of Romi Konkani and strongly condemn Uday Bhembro for his anti Romi Konkani campaign. A.
