and Forests (I/C) to maintain the moratorium on issuing further
environmental clearances for mining activities in Goa

The name 'Asilo Hospital' is synonymous with Bardez and Bardezkars for as
long as we remember and beyond. The suggestion that the New Asilo Hospital
Complex be named after the first CM of Goa Shri Dayanand Bandodkar by the
Mapusa (BJP) MLA Shri. Francis D'Souza in the Legislative Assembly recently,
borders on the absurd and something that we had not expected of thinking
people's representatives. Shri. Francis D'Souza has shown his vote-bank
politician's mentality by worst.
Asilo Hospital of Mapusa must remain 'Asilo Hospital'. There are many
personages of Goan origin who have slogged for this age old institution and
as such, if this institution must be named after any one, it must be one of
these personages and not Shri. Dayanand Bandodkar. Goa seems to have been
afflicted by a naming sickness. It is either Dayanand Bandodkar or Shivaji
Maharaj. Both these, one a community icon, and the other a respectable icon
of Maharashtra, were hell bent on making Goa a part of Maharashtra,
especially Dayanand Bandodkar vide the vile merger issue.
One of the deserving personages that come to mind is Dr. Pundalik Gaetonde.
There could be many others more or less deserving than Dr. Gaetonde. But
'Asilo Hospital' , if it must be named after any personage, it must be
named, as an example, 'Dr. Pundalik Gaetonde - Asilo Hospital' or say
'Dr. Kemani - Asilo Hospital' . The word 'Asilo' must be preserved by all
means because this name is in the hearts of the people of Bardez. We are not
certain of the origin of Dr. Kemani but he was in charge of the Asilo
Hospital immediately after 1961 for many years.
If things had gone right, Dr. Pundalik Gaetonde would have been the first
Chief Minister of Goa, had he accepted the condition from Dayanand Bandodar
that he will work for the 'Merger' of Goa into Maharashtra. It will be
written in golden letters in the history of Goa that Dr. Gaetonde spurned
this offer point blank because he was the true son of Goa and the merger of
Goa with Maharashtra could not have figured in his being.
It is unfortunate for Goa, and a different matter altogether, that the
first Chief Minister of the so called 'Liberated Goa' was not the true son
of Goa. This, the MLA of Mapusa, Shri. Francis D'Souza must know in the
first place before venturing on a name suggestion spree for official
institution of Goa.
In the eventuality that the New Asilo Hospital Complex of Mapusa is named
after Dayanand Bandokar or given any other insignificant political
appeasement name, this Party will revert the name back to the original
'Asilo Hospital' when it comes to power in Goa, just like the Chief
Minister's Official Residence name plate has been reverted back to the
'Chief Minister's Residence' from 'LAXIMI', an equally absurd name, as
absurd as the occupier of this august official residence at that time. And,
Goans may rest assured that this will be done.
