Hence instead of criticizing and wasting time in targeting each other, I suggest that we should put our heads together and confront the Goan Chief Minister who should support the Goans and ensure that all such fees are waived off and like other western countries, allow Goans/Indians/Portuguese or other country passport holders to have dual citizenship…. RESPONSE: Citizenship Laws are Central Laws, and can be amended only by Parliament. Besides, There are still rumblings in respect to PIO & OCI by the Opposition which is Goa Chief Minister’s political Party. There is no doubt there is a lot of pressure for acceptance of dual citizenship from the Indian NRIs who remit much required foreign exchange to India. Besides that, we have comedians in Goa who will stage a morcha in an instant at the whiff Portuguese Nationality and make arrangements to “Purify” Goan soil as it is their “parampara” You are excused Maria do Céu Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão.
