I was glad to read the postings from Cedric De Costa and Nigel Britto, both supporting Rajan's previous e-mails ridiculing Diggu's attempt to seek credit for scrapping of SEZs. If we want to give credit to Diggu for this, why not credit Musharraf with lifting of emergency in Pakistan or Bush and Blair for liberation of Iraq? In my last mail, I had expressed my apprehension about Goanet being infected by viruses. Religious bigotry is the most potent and lethal virus affecting the world today and Goanet needs to be careful. To accuse Rajan of such bigotry is wrong . Attacks on Nelson Ferrao were similarly uncalled for. I feel particularly dismayed that his light hearted comment about shooting the migrants at the border can be used again and again when everyone who reads Goanet should by now know that Rajan shoots but only with his camera. However, as Dennis Healey once famously said, ' it is like being savaged by dead sheep'. I hope that is how Rajan and Nelson Ferrao feel.
