"I am astonished that you could give such a clear example of dumb logic and
twisted thinking. Correct me if I am wrong but it was Digambar and congress
government that came into being because of him stabbing Parriker in the back
that thrust 2011plan and SEZs on Goa. Are you seriously suggesting that ir was
Parriker who was responsible for these two massive land scams? Secondly, if GBA
and Oscar Rebello were so successful in protecting the goan land mass and
environment because of their agitation in 2007, how come within months people
of Goa had to come on the streets against SEZs. Was GBA asleep or was it
complicit? Do we know whether all the land conversions under 2011 have been
reversed? There should be no doubt that for the scrapping of SEZ, credit should
go to Mathany, firstly for keeping a lot of disparate groups together and also
for the master stroke of veiled threat vis a vis tourismthat ultimately
persuaded this corrupt bunch of congressmen and women to do away
with SEZ.. Oscar, unfortunately, got close to SVM and if you were there at the
Lohia Maidan meeting you would have heard the convener of SVM proclaiming his
support for Digu and Congress. So much for 'Apolitical' GBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lastly, as far as we know, Mathany has not been nominated for any award or
has he? Twisted thinking indeed. Anil Desai"
Dear Anil
You are confused , politically blind. You need to be ashamed not astonished.
Which politician in the last two decades or so has not back stabbed to gain
personal political mileage? You tacitly sanctify Parrikar and Mathany and
castigate Oscar and deride the GBA movement. Name any seasoned hardcore
politician who has not involved in loot mar and wholesale destruction of Goa
for their own conceited and selfish motives. Name any politician who has not
politically horse traded for their own selfish interest. Name one. The highest
award possible may be conferred on him. Or are you suggesting that Parrikar and
Mathany are the best among the worst. Goas destruction , SEZ and scams are the
making of the corrupt politicians and their cronies who work at cross purposes
and confound confusion among the cross section of Goans. Which sane Goan needs
any further proof of this political insanity. Goa has spun out of control and a
few Goans on this forum too are involved in brick bats
and aggravating the situation instead of collaborating and working towards
peaceful and prosperous Goa. Not only twisted , confused, crooked and tangled
thinking!!!! And lastly Oscar has not gone fishing for awards. It is declared.
The Oscar award goes to the common people of Goa!!!!
