Goa Pradesh Congress Committee President Suubash Shirodkar says that the protesters have the sympathy of the Congress party. “The bandh call is right, it is they – the truck owners, barge owners and the other businesses depending on mines, who are facing the threat of closure of mines business in Goa,” Shirodkar told Herald. While stating that he personally supports them and the party sympathizes with them, Congress has not yet taken any decision whether to support them or not. “We will take decision by Monday evening as we are busy with the Congress padyatra for now,” he said. Urban Development Minister Joaquim Alemao, who is also involved in mining business says that he will support the bandh. “I am always for legal mines and I again say that illegal mining be stopped but whether I am officially supporting the bandh or not, I can’t say for now,” he says. Curchorem legislator Shyam Satardekar, who is also involved in ore transport business, goes a step ahead and says that I am blindly supporting the agitation. “Why should legal mining be stopped due to illegal mines? Why do the authorities not act on illegal mining?” he asked. “I will blindly support the bandh Tuesday, as it is the question of the livelihood of lakhs of people who depend on this industry,” Satardekar says. However, Satardekar was unsure whether he would be physically present for bandh in panjim or not. “We have several functions including the concluding of Congress padyatra, so I will see whether I can make it or not,” he said. Besides, Subash, Joaquim and Shyam, the bandh also seems to have support of Health Minister Vishwajeet Rane and Quepem MLA Babu Kavlekar. However, efforts to contact the two, for their response, proved futile. -- Please post your comments on my Blog: http://goanidentity.blogspot.com/ Please also see below: 1.
