Dear Chinmay Bhandare, The spoken word is difficult to retrieve. Matanhy has learnt it the hard way.
What Matanhy said was "untoward incidents" and "ugly turn" which almost every reasonable man , woman and child interprested as VIOLENCE, though [to be fair to Matanhy] he did not use that "V" word. Everyone has reacted to the newspaper reports and TV news, including in National channels. Rajan Parikar is happy that it has made National news. The BJP got worried because of exactly the same reason that Rajan was happy. The party has to worry about being seen as a "Violent" party, nationally, an image that haunts it after Ayodhya, Godhra and the like. TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE ONE RIGHT! That is what the Mahatma said. It is open to many interpretations but Matanhy must have realised that he is not the one who is right this time. I would recommend to him the same medicine I use when I am wrong ...admit the error, apologise and move on. It does not help to justify a wrong! To err is human. To persist with an error is idiotic. Mog asundi.

Many have invested a lot of money in the business and wil be very hard hit if the tourist flow is affected by the anti SEZ agitation. While such tactics are very useful in grabbing the attention of the media all over the world, unfortunately common people will be the worst sufferers while the real culprits will not be inconveniened in any way. I hope that because of these scare tactics the MAs doesnt end up losing the support of a large silent majority especially form te bardez and salcette tourist belt. wish you all a merry Xmas and a happy new year! regards B -- -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
