Marshall Mendonca has laid out a superb case covering all salient points concerning Mr. Modi's involvement in the Gujarat Riots and his inaction in dealing with them in a states manly and amicable way. Marshall has detailed every relevant point exposing Mr. Modi's inactions and cover-ups in speedily dealing with efforts to stop the riots or his unwillingness to rise to the occasion which can only be perceived as his condoning these barbaric acts. Had the riots spilled out to other states, then India would have a National disaster on its hands. It is therefore with the feeling of true Nationalism that Goa and Goans should ensure that Mr. Modi and any such leaders who harbour Hindutav sentiments not be proposed or nominated or supported in any way to become a National leader. Such persons will only bring death and destruction to India and plunge it into chaos from which it may never recover. Religion has its place in human society but not when dealing with affairs of state, the rights of all the people of India are to be held sacred and be protected so that every Indian feels that his Government is for him or her and has his/her interest in mind being fair and just irrespective of Cast Creed, social status, or any other division which impedes the proper representation of everyone.
Marshall please keep up the good work in educating us so that we are not hoodwinked by our state representatives who may use the opportunity to possibly catapult themselves into the limelight on the coattails of others. Manuel ( Eddie) Tavares.
