*PRESS NOTE FOR KIND FAVOUR OF PUBLICATION* The Goa Su-Raj Party condemns the malicious report appearing in the Social Media that the Party is in favour of Marathi as Goa's Official Language on par with Goa's queen 'KONKANI', which has antagonized Goans across the world against the GSRP. . The very fact that this statement is attributed to tiatrist Wilson Mazarello who has been declared as the Party's candidate for the Velim Constituency (South Goa) for the coming Goa Legislative Elections, speaks volumes of malicious intent, when Wilson Mazarello, more acknowledged by his stage name 'WILMIX' , has been in the forefront of demanding recognition to Romi script for Konkani for as long as we remember. The Marathi lobby has reason to be aggreaved with GSRP as it solidly roots for 'Konkani' as the sole official Language of the State of Goa, being its sole 'mother's tongue' with ROMI script as the birth right of Goans. Again the Marathi lobby in Goa is aggrieved to see a Hindu from the Marathi belt of Bicholim having been declared as the Party's candidate for the next assembly elecitions. Goa Su-Raj Party stands by it founding resolves that Goa's sole Official Language is Konkani. That the Official Language issue has been resolved when Goa was declared a State in 1987 with Konkani as its OFFICIAL Language and it having been included in the 8th. Schedule. Goa Su-Raj Party also believes that no state can have or has two languages as official languages of the state. That for the State of Goa, its Official Language is Konkani and shall remain Konkani, forever. That the mergerist ideals were defeated on 16 January, 1967 when the Great Goan Opinion Poll was held and subsequently won by industrious Goans. Goa Su-Raj Party-GSRP requests true Goans not to fall prey to such cheap publicity, that it is vital that true Goans base their belief in GSRP so that it may hand to Goans their very own Hign Command in their beloved Goa in the ensuing general elections, 2016-17. for GOA SU-RAJ PARTY-GSRP Sd/- Floriano Lobo General Secretary/Spokesperson Mob: 9890470896 Email: [email protected] Website: www.goasu-raj.com Fb@GOASU-RAJPARTY-GSRP Twitter@goasuraj http://www.goasu-raj.com/gen/news/3719.asp
