Remo Fernandes, a popular pop star and playback singer from
the state of Goa, has added his voice to the 'Save Goa Campaign'
and has made an appeal to Indian and foreign tourists to stay
away away from Goa this year in order to keep the state alive.
The 'Save Goa Campaign' is a movement against setting up
of SEZs in the state in a bid to protect Goa from large influx
of outsiders.
Well known singer -- Remo Fernandes --- too expressed his
concern on the issue and has joined hands with the locals to
protest the setting up of 18 SEZs in the state. Commenting on
the issue, Remo Fernandes said:"Goa is gone, the Goa that
people loved does not exist any more."
Meanwhile, Mathani Saldhana, the man who has spearheaded
the movement to oppose the SEZ has warned tourists to stay
away from Goa on 28 Dec as the front is organising massive
rally to mark their protest.
Making a strong statement, Mathani Saldhana categorically
reiterated: "We want tourists to show solidarity with us and
stay away from Goa on 28 Dec so that they do not become
victims of our agitation."
He has further demanded that all SEZs be scrapped immediately
failing which there would be great unrest among the Goan
people that would prove costly to the government. He feels
that SEZs are nothing but an attempt to destroy Goa by
bringing a large influx of outsiders.
