I did respond to your "foul" language point in my last response. Please let me know what the issue is this time. >about Rajan's citizenship. Although I do not know anything about citizenship(according to you), Rajan holds American citizenship that makes him Indian American. He also holds Overseas citizenship of India that gives him all the rights to property etc except that he does not have voting right or right to get a >govt job. Not just vote, Rajan cannot stand for any election of an MLA or MP. What this effectively means is that he cannot represent the voice of the Goan people. >Therefore, you may make all the fuss about his citizenship, he has rights that he will exercise in Goa. You keep carping at him from the sideline and make a fool of yourself if you wish. I have tried to persuade you but I accept I have failed. I did say that I would not like to belittle the work that other people do for goa. I did not wish to include people who take grants of lakhs of rupees from a corrupt govt that has increased the debt for goans to 50 billion rupees or more. If MARG is getting twenty lakhs or more per year from this government, I think goans need to know that this money is being put to good use. I would not dream of belittling your father whom I do not personally know but as a Goan, I am entitled to raise legitimate queries about the >taxpayers' money that this NGO receives. No one denies that every paisa that goes to MARG --- people should know where it is going or if it is well spent. Precisely because of that I gave you my father's email id also. Here it is again: [email protected] But the timing of this query of yours which was in response to me raising questions about Rajan's citizenship just shows your intent. As to Goa govt being corrupt, please get some evidence on camera of any of the biggies taking money. I am all with you on this; in fact, I have been trying to pursuade people to do that. I have been even selling a spy cam. But by and large I have found no takers. While every one shouts about corruption from the roof top, hardly anyone is willing to take the next step of belling the cat. regards, Samir Anil Desai
