"Rajan P. Parrikar" wrote Stop the 2 C's - Construction & Conversion - right away in Goa.
Venantius Pinto 'coated': Conversion?! Rupees to Euros/Dollars or religion. Dr. Anil Desai wrote: There are conversions going on in Goa day in and day out. they are conversions of agricultural land into non-agricultural or settlement zones. Goans fighting against SEZ and Mega building projects are fighting to stop these conversions. Please do not try and introduce the poison of religious bigotry in this worthwhile debate. jc's response: I agree with Dr. Anil Desai that this is a worthwhile debate. Debate is all that it will be - nada mas. Once the dam is breached, the water will get in - sooner or later. Goans better accept this. Oscar Rebello better concentrate on his medical practice. This whole ghuspott started by the MGP under Bandodkar (the ostrichoid denial by Rajan Parrikar having been noted) is coming full circle. The chickens are coming home to roost. I submit that Bandodkar brought in the "bhaille" to dislodge his political opponents i.e. those who opposed merger with Maharashtra. The prevailing thought was that if Catholic Goans were dislodged from Goa, ALL would be fine for the MGP. Well, my friends, Deny all you want ....but the poison of Religious Bigotry was NOT introduced by Venantius but by Bandodkar and his MGP handlers. What you are seeing today are the fruits of that Religious Bigotry. What does the crystal ball hold for the future? 1. Those who wanted to rid Goa of Catholics ....will have got their wish totally fulfilled. 2. Land conversion, land grab and construction will continue unabated 3. Manohar Parrikar will be CM soon 4. Land conversion, land grab and construction will continue unabated 5. Rajan Parrikar et al will return to California having said: Mission Accomplished. 6. The Bandodkar and MGP dream of destroying Goa as we knew it - never mind the pious statements of wanting to "preserve" it - will have been achieved. Oscar Rebello ....have you heard the phrase: kam zalem, voiz melo?. Well my friend, you will be used and dumped. Please leave now and let the wolves take over. They will take over anyway. Why get in their way? just my view jc
