Portugal Restricts Indians
LONDON (Reuters) — Portugal rounded up Indians in its overseas
territories Monday, allegedly for their own protection in the wake of
the Indian invasion of the Portuguese territory of Goa on India's west
coast.
The biggest group interned was in Mozambique, Portuguese East Africa,
where there is a large concentration of Indian traders.
The number of Indians rounded up there was estimated to be about 12,000.
In addition, about 50 Indians living in the tiny Portuguese territory of
Macao on the coast of China were rounded up.
The Governor - General of Mozambique, Rear - Admiral Sarmento Rodrigues,
broadcast an appeal to the population not to take reprisals against
Indians in the territory for the attack on Goa.
Also in London, Portugal's Foreign' Minister Alberto Nogueira said his
country is pre-pared to negotiate with India al-though Portuguese troops
are "fighting on" in Goa.
