Dear Sir, With regard to what Fr. Pratap writes under the above caption, first of all I wish to steer clear of the lipi controversy. It was time we buried the hatchet and united. Second, I may state that I have the highest regard for writers like Mr.Uday Bembre and Mr. N. Shivdas, who have the right to express their viewpoint as forcefully as Fr. Pratap.
But I take strong objection to Sunaparant harbouring the column by Mr.Subhash Velingkar. It contains highly objectionable material. It is a systematic tirade against the minorities. Many know how I have voiced my objections - together with many others to my friend Sandesh Prabhudesai, the editor of the Sunaparant - who is very sincere and forward looking, and has played a great role to preserve secular harmony, especially during the time of the VCD, and writes editorials which are very balanced. But a column like that of Mr. Velingkar is unworthy of a paper like the Sunaparant. I used to be a great fan of Sunaparant, but have stopped buying it for some time. Dr. Francisco Colaco, MD Margao.
