JUSTICE FOR SPORTSPERSONS. This is in reply to Floriano Lobo goasuraj Pratima Gaonkar. (goasuraj) write up on 29.10.06 in response to my article on the suicides of sportspersons Angela Gomes and Pratima Gaumkar and harassment to Dr. Susane D'Souza by Goa Sports Minister Maddkaikar. Florian I highly appreciate your comments on the said subject. I find in you and your party someone fighting for the cause of Goa and Goans dedicatedly. This I have seen with my own eyes. Your party is not like any other party in Goa that looks only for the election gains. You take up causes of public interest. I know your efforts to raise funds for Pratima's poor mother and while you were raising funds for her, Maddkaikar and others were sleeping in Goa. What have they done for the poor family members of Pratima? Why till now the person who has driven Pratima to commit suicide is not brought to trial? Where are Madkaikar and Congress Party? You said your "Party will revive the cases into the deaths of Pratima Gaonkar and Angela Gomes and bring the culprits to book. This is a promise the Party makes to Sports loving Goa and Goans". I and innumerable friends of mine support you and your party on this subject and if necessary I will stand by you on this issue. The two suicides of Angela Gomes and of Pratima Gaumkar must be probed and guilty not only exposed but also punished................... COMMENTS: Dear Mr. Veronica, We at goasuraj appreciate the mighty trust you have in our party. And we shall see to it that this trust is not found wanting, ever. They say, in a forest of weeds, brambles and other useless trees, it is possible to find a lone tree, which some day, some time someone will be appreciated for its worth and nurtured, by cutting away the wild creepers and growth that is chocking it. Goasuraj is like that lone tree. At the moment, it is surrounded by self-seeking trash. But there will be more persons like you who will come to stand by it, in times to come. As you have said, we shall be taking on the corrupt MLA of Aldona, Dayanand Narvekar in the coming elections ( his latest unearthed scam is the IT Park, Dona Paula, which he has sought to gift to his sister and brother-in-law in Mumbai . A a PIL in this matter is in the offing). The party's declaration to this effect will be made on 11th November, 2006, at Manvin's Hotel, Panjim, where we shall be releasing the "Su-Raj Production's 'first' political awarebess movie ' NAKA TUM DUSRE PAUT' . The VCDs will be available at V.P. Sinari, Panjim for Rs. 125/-. The movie has been sponsored by a good heart and it is based on the Goa Su-Raj Election 2007 campaign dialogue the party has come out with which is available to be downloaded on www.goasu-raj.org . Along with the Aldona candidate, the party intends declaring a couple of other candidates. Work in this direction is ongoing. Once again, thank you for your trust in us. Apart from not disappointing persons of good faith like you, we shall not dissapoint ourselves, ones who have come up to lock horns with the politically corrupt, not only in Goa but also in the Union of India. As regards Pratima Gaokar, we did do something that we thought we should do for her family. Apart from that, contrary to what some people believe, we are not in the management of the SAG nor at the wheel of governance. Let the elected government of the people do what the people want done, plus more. We have many other things to look at. But as promised, we shall look back to put things on record when we are in the saddle and nobody should doubt it. The same goes for Angela Gomes. However, our very sincere advice to the parents and true guardians of young Ivana Furtado is that they should be very careful of wolfs in sheep's clothing, to protect the child, to let her become what she will become, at her own space and time, and to be her protectors always, so that none of the things that have happened to Pratima Gaokar and Angela Gomes repeat with her. We wish little Ivana Furtado well. goasuraj _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
