------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.casadegoa.org -------------------------------------------------------
Dear Dr. Carmo, What is food to one may be poision to another, what Parrikar did in 70's is history but we are in the present world of reality , during his term lot's of damage was done to catholics in many ways and this is the reality , we have witnessed how BJP and it's network works, i have nothing wrong with his or your qualification but his behaviour and the party's stand dividing people on religion basis throughout india and other anti-social elements with the help of RSS is not good for goans. There is nothing about Catholics v/s hindus, people don't distinguish this element , such issues come to the forefront only when parties like BJP/RSS make it political for their own gains. Apart from BJP which other party is communal ?(i could be ignorant , if you can throw some light) Dr. Carmo , florida is a great place and you could be very lucky to be there, come down to your motherland , see it for yourself and then pass respectful comments. I have many friends who have met Parrikar and they have their own opinions. Lastly, however much educated one may be , the lust for money, power , greed , jealousy, hatred are the common features in the political field and Parrikar is no saint. I hold no grudge against you for labelling me dukor , i wish you well. You have not apologised as i wanted but never mind someone up there is watching .
