"THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR THE FREEDOM OF OUR COUNTRY DIED. THOSE WHO WERE
THIEVES WERE MADE FREEDOM FIGHTERS. WHO MADE THEM FREEDOM FIGHTERS ANYWAY?
By: Vijaykumar Mohan Surlakar ( A Shiv Sainik )
Navprabha - Wednesday- Dec 8, 2010 edition [page 4]
When I was young, just about 15 years old, I was living in Panjim near
Mahalaxmi Temple. Mr. Mahadev Harischandra Chari - alias 'Bhau' was my
neighour then. His prediction has come true today. He had predicted there
would be acute shortage of water and electricity in Panjim city, and waste
water will make way through roads making them open drains. We in Panjim are
witnessing what he said then.
In the service of Mahalaxmi Temple there was a person called Kashinath
Chari. He was employed by the Temple as a watchman. There was also another
person called Anand Sadu Surlakar. I was wondering how these two persons
could ever be made freedom fighters. I therefore once took the opportunity
to ask Mahadev Chari how these two persons could be made freedom fighters.
He said those who fought for the freedom of our country already died. Those
who were thieves were therefore made freedom fighters.
What he said to me was true. Nothing but truth. As a matter of fact he said
"Mr Vishwanath Lavande ( President of Azad Gomantak Dal) used to come to
Bhau to get rubber stamps made for his office use. Since I developed
friendly relationship with Mr. Lavande, I put a word with Lavande to make
this drummer and the watchmen freedom fighters to which he readily agreed
and made them freedom fighters in no time. 59 years have passed since then.
But we get no feel of independence, freedom.
People will appreciate if the freedom fighters will organize a silent
protest instead of paying tribute to freedom fighters at Azad Maidan Panjim
or Patradevi Memorial. If this is done the Goa government may consider
offering appointments to unemployed children of freedom fighters.
If the freedom fighters were alert and vigilant and had told their children
the price they have paid for the freedom of the country, they would not have
to face the humiliation they are facing today.
The freedom fighters would do well to pledge similar struggle once again to
SAVE GOA.

COMMENTS:
Indeed, instead of purifying the Arabian Sea to get rid of the POLLUTION
left by the Portuguese, Naguesh Karmali and his side kicks should do well to
take the advice of Mr.Vijaykumar Mohan Surlakar, here above.
We have said many a times that when Goa Su-Raj Party comes to power, it
will, among the first things that will be done, de-register Goa's freedom
fighters and also stop their pensions. For those who are the fake freedom
fighters like the above two jokers, they will be bled to pay back the tax
payer's money that they have gobbled all these years.
We have been told that the first thing that Vishwanath Lavande did,
immediately after the so called liberation, was to invade the Police
headquarters in Panjim and make a bon fire (in the courtyard) of the
meticulous records that the Portuguese Police had kept of all the
satyagrahis or those suspected of working against the Portuguese regime.
These files, it is believed, had photographs (frontal as well as the
profile - perfile as it is known in the Portuguese language) of each and
every one of these so called 'freedom fighters' Why did Vishwanath Lavande
burn these records? Very simple. He could then enroll punks like the above
two as he was the sole authority to vouch for them. Probably Naguesh
Karmali is one of them too. If these Azad Gomantak Dal punk were prohibited
from touching the erstwhile Portuguese Police records by the "INVADING"
Indian Commanders [Lt. General Kunhiraman Palat Candeth ], and if these
meticulous records (like any others) kept by the Portuguese were preserved,
today we would be able to get all the information we needed on the fakes
claiming to be the freedom fighters through the RTI. And perhaps Naguesh
Karmali would be exposed. The absense of these records makes these fakes and
the cheats the loud mouths of today.

It is not ENOUGH that GOOD, HONEST citizens contest elections.
It is not ENOUGH that GOOD, HONEST citizen voters elect good, honest
representatives.
GOA urgently needs 'GOOD, HONEST, DISCIPLINED SYSTEM of GOVERNANCE'.
Wherein, even a dishonest person is forced to be good, honest n disciplined,
or to QUIT.
Only through PPS can such 'good, honest n disciplined system of governance'
be identified and accepted.
PPS GOA =PEOPLE for POLITICAL SANITY = PEOPLE'S POWER SYSTEM
for a date in 2012
Display the 'PPS' sticker on your vehicle today, to reject political madness
tomorrow.
