Bury the hatchet… B.B.S.M.
By Wilmix Wilson Mazarello
Everyday I open the Newspapers and there is a report covering a
meeting organized by the B.B.S.M. and what do I read . It’s venom and
venom spat out by these frustrated bunch of pseudo leaders in the
B.B.S.M. against Goan parents and against the Diocesan Society of Goa.
A decision has been taken . Truth has prevailed. Bury the hatchet and
let life move on. This should have been the right attitude of “honest
leaders”.
But no. These are not “honest leaders”. That’s precisely why they go
on and on giving vent to their frustrations and loose whatever little
respect they had , in the eyes of Goans from all walks of life.
These “pseudo leaders” cannot and will not accept the fact that “every
parent has the right to decide what’s the best mode of education for
their child”. “How can it be? . What do the parents know ? All these
years it has been our prerogative”. So say these “super-parents” in
the Goan Society.
In fact it is on record at a MoI Debate on Doordarshan (Panaji) Channel,
in April 2011, when Mr. N. Shivdas , President of Goa Konkani Akademi,
openly called the Goan parents as “bonddes” who know nothing about
their children’s education.
Such are the people like N.Shivdas who are made Presidents of Govt.
bodies like Goa Konkani Akademi ? This is possible only in Goa.
The other people in the B.B.S.M. are no different.
Mr. Uday Bhembre says he has no control over his grandchild who prefers
English as the Medium of Instruction, but wants to exercise control
over other’s children. What a fall from grace, Uday-bab ?
Mr. Prashant Naik abuses the Diocesan Society of Goa for the Govt.
decision on MoI and calls students to be ready for road blockades ,
pelting stones and damaging buses. What an ideal President of the
Konkani Bhasha Mandal. Is he not ?
Mr. Nagesh Karmali speaking on the B.B.S.M. Platform , says “Goa is not
of Goans any more. Goa is finished by this Government” . In fact
Nagesh-bab, Goa would have been a better place to live in, if not for
hard core ‘Communalists’ like you”.
Recently , from the same B.B.S.M. platform, Adv. Anacleto Viegas has
started attacking the Tiatrists of Goa for siding with English for MoI.
My dear Adv. Anacleto, please do not undermine the intelligence of the
Goan Tiatrists . They know what they are doing. They are capable of
saving and developing the Tiatr and Konkani even after having English
as MoI in schools. You’d serve Konkani better by helping change
‘law-books’ into Konkani.
I do not wish to comment on Mr. Vishnu Wagh . He has his own hidden
agenda. Every one knows he was once a member of the “Shiv Sena”.
Is there any need for more comments ?
Frustration will not get these “pseudo leaders" anywhere.
B.B.S.M. , when will you see the writing on the wall?
The decision is made. Truth has prevailed. Bury the hatchet and let life
move on.
