18TH JUNE!
On this great day, I remember the first Chief Minister of Goa, late Dayanand Bandodkar for working day and night to merge Goa with Maharashtra. I remember the father of Opinion poll, Jack Sequeira, not forgetting Ulhas Buyao,Babu Naik etc for saving Goa from the merger with Maharashtra. I remember Floriano Vaz who sacrificed his life at a very young age during the Konkani agitation and Nilesh Naik who laid down his life to save his village from the pollution of Nylon 6,6. I remember another Nilesh from Cavrem who dared to fight against the rich mining lobby. IĀ remember the Digamber Kamat government who in the name of Regional Plan 2011 had plans to finish Goa for all.I remember the then GBA who gave a wake up call to all goans against the said regional plan and saved Goa.I feel very sad for the death of the then GBA. I thank Digamber Kamat in particular for the progress of Monti-dongor at Margao. I thank all those concerned who made MOI as a issue for their personal gains when there is a clear choice available. I thank all those who supported the Bandh on the 6th June and causing a great inconvenience to the innocents. I strongly condemn the death of the two tribal youth at the Balli violence and also thank all those who caused great inconvenience to the innocent citizens of this country by blocking the trainĀ tracks,the roads and not even sparing a ambulance. VIVA GOA! Joel Morais P.O.Cuncolim, Bencleamvaddo, Salcette,Goa. Pin-403703 mob - 9970561727
