As a Goan, I was ashamed to read of the plight of innocent British families
who, havingfollowed the proper procedures and legitimately bought property
in Goa, now find themselves
being hounded by the authorities, and risk losing these properties
.
I hope their Petition to Prime Minister Gordon Brown will receive the
support it deserves.
It is disgraceful to find that while we, Goans, who emigrated to Britain
from East Africa,
India/Pakistan or elsewhere, were, on the whole, made welcome, the same
courtesies cannot
be extended to these unfortunate Britons.
