Sir, On the 45th year of the Opinon Poll day Goa is commmmorating the day as the "Osmitai Dis" in different parts of Goa. Our orgaizatiion 'Goykaranchi Konkani Bhas,Songit Kala ani Sonskrutai Kendr, Merces Goa is celebrating this day in a much bigger way. This annual affair is going on for the last 10 years by organising Konkani writing.singing or other different competions. This year the organization is celebrating the 16th Jan 2011 by organising a Konkani Show by Aniceto and his troupes near the Merces Church compound at 7 p.m.
You are kindly requested to make some arrangements so that we in UK and other parts of the world could see the celebration through youtube. We know you and your associates is providing lots of Konkani programmes from Goa for which we are really proud and happy. Being the founder member of the above (GKBSKSK) association we have started to commemorate this day as the Osmitai Dis just because our Goa Govt. is not ready to commemorate this day as many of our ministers were from the MGP who was pro-mergerist. Had it not been Dr. Jack de Sequeira Goa would have been a part of Maharastra and this programmes signifies the work done by our past leader Dr.Jack de Sequiera and his followers to save the Identity of Goa. We Mercekar had even named a National Highway Junction near Panjim as Dr. Jack de Sequeira Junction, so kindly try to record tomorrow's programmes and rest you know better. Thanks. Francisco F.Fernandes. Middlesex UK.
