Dear Albertina, Perhaps you have not read the Sakal's Gomantak Times this morning. For, if you did, you could not have missed the smiling face of Shri Manohar Parrikar and his Bhandari alter-ego, Shripad Naik ....on a colour facsmile of the audio CD titled "Khuxal Bhorit Natalam". The songs are jingle bells all the way to the polling boooth for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections!
If the BJP Goa "State Cultural Cell" is distributing free Christmas carols in KONKANI [title written in ROMAN SCRIPT on the cover], then Christianity, or at least Catholicism, is part of the BJP culture. there is no disclaimer like E.& O.E. on the bills to say "VHP and RSS, excluding". If Christmas carols are good for Parikar, they are good for Satish Dhond, Subhash Velinkar, Subhash Salkar and the rest. You can still write to him at [email protected] for confirmation. A lawyer may be better than a journalist for such matters. ;-) Mog asundi Miguel PS Did someone not tell you that Shri L. K. Advani commanded the BJP folks in Orissa to celebrate their bandh elsewhere or on another day. Raping nuns and killing Christians on Christmas day may freeze all the fund flows from USA that keep their spunk flowing. It was tough enough to defend Sonal Shah's connections that popped up when you Googled her name ....and she is now in Obama HUSSAIN Barack's cabinet!! I was in Bhubaneshwar those days. The newspaers changed their tone on the front pages like a Red litmus paper turns Blue when it touches an Alkali. Money [as in funds] has a strange alchemy.

Message-ID: <[email protected]> BJP legislator Mahesh Sahu is reported to have remarked on the floor of the Orissa Assembly that those who felt apprehensive could go to Italy, Australia or Kerala to celebrate Christmas.(see news item from Indian Express of 19th December below). Will someone (ideally journos) ask Manohar Parrikar what is his stand on what his party colleague in Orissa has said on the floor of the Orissa Assembly? Will he state whether that is the BJP's party line or whether the party is disowning that MLA and if so what is the party's action against that MLA? albertina http://www.indianexpress.com/news/tension-in-kandhamal-as-christian-leader-kidnapped/400298/ Tension in Kandhamal as Christian leader kidnapped Bhubaneswar: The alleged kidnapping may worsen the situation in Kandhamal as it comes a week before the December 25 Orissa bandh called by Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati Shraddhanjali Samiti to protest police inaction in arresting Saraswati's killers. Though the BJP is yet to take an official stand on whether to support the bandh or not, the party is readying for a face-off with the BJD over the bandh. BJP legislator Mahesh Sahu created a flutter in the Assembly when he remarked that those who felt apprehensive could go to Italy, Australia or Kerala to celebrate Christmas. Worried over the bandh call, the Government has deployed 45 companies of the CRPF and sealed the district borders. -- (M) 9326137682 "Every flower must grow through dirt." -- Anonymous Get your own website and domain for just Rs.1,999/year.* Go to http://in.business.yahoo.com/
