History is in the making... David is taking on Goliath
The movement continues to gather steam and support. I have briefly spoken on
the phone to some of
the leaders of the movement and I think their enthusiasm is infectious. This is
truly a people's
movement and the Regional Plan will be de-notified both retrospectively and
prospectively. But we
have to be vigilant against the next scam and next Regional Plan. There are
also the issues of the
SEZs and communidade conversions, and illegal transfer and sale of land to
launder crime and drug
money.
I urge Save Goa/Goa Bachao Abhiyan to set up a Trust so Goans can contribute
financially. This
fight requires filing PILs, transportation costs, posters, media, etc. We
cannot expect those in
Goa who are fighting for the benefit of all Goans and the worldwide community
to bear the brunt of
costs. It is also not right that we who are not based in Goa enjoy the fruits
of their labor and
personal sacrifice. I hope Goans will contribute generously to this movement.
Regards,
George
