Where are there any Freedom Fighters? They are just a
bunch of adopted children of the government. Like street urchins they run after
politicians and once a year they open their mouth to speak for the public to
realise they exist.
If they had courage and the 'Guts' like the real Freedom Fighters, they would
have fought for the well being of the Goan community. Our real Freedom Fighters
are those who are selflessly fighting to preserve the identity of Goa and not
these bunch of cowards.

If our goan freedom fighters want to do away with the legacy of portuguese then
the freedom fighters should wear dotir, with a shirt over it and a black or
white cap on the head. Albert de souza
