Dual Nationality issue to be solved in 60 days - Parrikar https://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukextra2/15503135320/
My comments: 1 'Dual Nationality' is the term used by Press/ Media when it talks about Portuguese Nationality or Passport. There is No Dual Citizenship in India nor there are any hopes for granting one in future. Technically speaking, when one register his birth in Portugal or obtained BI they become nationals of two countries i.e. India and Portugal (It is alleged that some DySp or PIs or SPs in Goa Police are holding BI too). So, in a way Press/ Media are right to term it as 'Dual Nationality' but when they say so, it mainly means India and Portugal. But according to Goa's Chief minister, it is fine to hold adhaar card/ Election Card or Ration card while holding BI Card or other Nationality Card same time. Or according to him (CM) Dual Nationality necessarily means holding two Passports of two Nations. Comment: 2 In Goa, not just Christians and Hindus apply for Portuguese Nationality but Muslims apply too (no offence to any one). Few days ago, I come across a young Sheik who was in the Q for collection or enquiry of his BI which he applied some weeks ago at Portuguese Consulate. He said he works for Merchant Navy (Tarvotti), I asked why you want to go to London when you have a good tax free job etc? In London, you pay about 25% of your wages as taxes National Insurance, another say 25% you pay on accommodation so you will end up of getting less than 50% of wages after taking off other basic expenses like food, clothing etc. He then replied, I am not going to London or leave ship for that matter, he only wants the BI basis on which he can claim better pay scale on ship as he claims European Nationals are on different pay scale. But once he get his BI, he admittedly becomes National of another Country too but for Parrikar, he is a National of Portugal only when he obtain Portuguese Passport updates here http://joegoauk-pointofview.blogspot.in/2013/04/of-portuguese-citizenship-passport-etc.html joego...@yahoo.co.uk for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc
