Are you a Portuguese passport holder, but your name continues to be enrolled on the electoral rolls, hold on. You now run the risk of losing your voting right or losing membership of any elected body, if any, as the Foreigners Branch has submitted a detailed list of Goan Portuguese passport holders for action under the laws in force. == RESPONSE: The above from "HERALD REPORTER" is more than strange. I wonder if he/she is reasonably informed. Holders of Foreign Citizenship (Passport) automatically lose Indian nationality. Such individuals may apply for Overseas Indian status but have NO right to vote. So, I ask: (a) How could they 'risk of losing their voting right' IF they have automatically lost it upon gaining a foreign nationality (b) Why should it be bad news for them (c) BTW: Any good news has come from voting in Goa? jc * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Now available in Toronto, a few copies of *Into The Diaspora Wilderness* by Selma Carvalho.
