------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.goacom.org/casa-de-goa/noticias.html -------------------------------------------------------
Supporting Cong/BJP: Aires v/s Fr. Conceisao GN Quote: >> Floriano write: "How much in Indian Rupees or in US$ >> have been deposited in your (Aires) personal bank account by >> the BJP??" a comment to abv: > I think this is in very bad taste. JoeGoaUk Adds: Whenever someone found taking or changing sides, we at once jump to the conclusion saying that he or she has been bought etc (it's true in most cases though particularly in the political games) What's good for the goose is good for the gander It seems no one had guts to ask or put Fr. Conceisao a similar question e.g. How much Indian Rupees or in British Pounds have been deposited in his personal bank account by the Congress?? What he did was not fair (at least to the other candidates). It was fair enough if he had just come and inaugurate the 3 election offices of Mauvin/Luizinho but like an active congress man.. - he share the dais with the Congress leaders/candidates - he address the public on loud speaker (like any other politicians/leaders) - he appealed to the public to come out in large number to vote for Mauvin - he also said Cortalim constituency neglected for the past five years. - he said Luizinho done a lot and now its payback back time by voting for him. - he says both Luizinho and Mauvin are responsible for recognition for Konkani - his pictures appeared on all Goan English dailes more than once. http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk6/503263601/ - he even misused church altar/pulpit for political preaching Now, how you find this ? In good or bad taste? Let us not just keep quite saying..'Oh, he is religious figure, let's leave him alone' or are we keeping quite because many priests from the Bishop house etc are also Goanet Members or readers? What you say Miguel, Florian, Bosco etc ? Let's just talk about Fr. Conceisao's action here. Church always said 'elect clean or non-corrupt candidates' but who are the clean people? And I always thought Mr. Mathany Saldanha was the cleanest or least dirty (Mathany 'Most Honest MLA' as per today's H survey). Was he communal? was he corrupt? Was he non-performing? I tell you, with confidence, if Mauvin wins by a margin of just about 1000 votes, Fr. Conceisao and Fr. Conceisao alone responsible for his win, for using his 'undue spiritual influence' in the name of God. Mr. Mauvin, after reading this, don't forget to issue another cheque towards 'bonus payment' [EMAIL PROTECTED] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://thisisgoa.com/ ___________________________________________________________ Now you can have your favourite RSS headlines come to you with the all new Yahoo!
