Portuguese Passport, everybody going for it.. Generally, there is common feeling amongst the larger section of Goan population that only Goan Christians go for Portuguese Passport, often labelled them ‘unpatriotic’.
I remember, when BJP youth wing having a parallel programme at Panjim Riverside (during celebration of 50 years of Goa Liberation), a youth leader in his speech said ‘My heart pains when I see some Goan youth moving around with Portuguese Flags on their vehicles etc’ (this was probably in support of Portugal Football team) I wonder, what they have to say now about some youth queuing up at Portuguese Passport at their Consulate at Altinho? As said in my earlier post, there were about 50 non-Christians in St. Andre in last 2.5 years alone.. Spotted at least 7 today in the Q of about 150+ people at the Portuguese Consulate. There was one even with Bhurka. Ye saab kya hai bbai? ‘paapi pet ka sawal hai’ Its time some people change their mindsets! Extra: How much? Roughly, all it takes 5,000+18,000 + 28,000+ 25,000. http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk65/8514094165/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk65/8514119581/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk65/8515197368/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk65/8515234960/in/photostream above 25K includes 5K for new and 5K for surrendering old Whole thing can take 18 to 30 months And finally, another about 30,000 for o/w ticket and off you go!
