The parents have clearly indicated their preference for MOI. The fact that 90% of the parents have confirmed their choice is unassailable proof. The need to provide phone numbers of the parents is an exercise in futility to create delays and concoct mischief. Many of the parents do not have their phones and they can refuse to give personal information on this account, which may be subject to harassment and veiled threats, The issue continues to be flogged in the public domain like a dead horse and it is all repetitions of previous points raised. It is wishful thinking that all the 90% of the deciders belong to any single community The traitors and fanatics are trying to Resurrect themselves ostracized from political field and have become fossils of no cosequence, for narrow political gains. They will realise the negative fall out much to their discomfiture, when the verdict will be given. The parents are sure what they want and will not settle for anything less The zealots of local languages camouflaging as promoters of Konkani language stand exposed, Whatever reputation they had built up of integrity, character, respect and astuteness has crashed on the rocks of reality of their utter hypocrisy and double speak in forked tongues The momentum is uncontainable and may result in grave consequences The sudden love of Marathi protagonist for Konkani is only to gain support for their sinister designs to promote Marathi. Nobody really should have any grievance as grants are not stopped for any medium ,be it Konkani, Marathi or any other In fact if konkani is made compulsory along with Marathi it will not cause any harm to Konkani ,leave alone culture and , the official language of the state The rabid reasoning of culture is not convincing and so is the banner of communal ism without rational explanation of what it connotes The frustration of the BBSM is at its peak, because they are now resorting to means that are despicable and violent A few cannot impose their will on the majority and give the impression that they are the saviours of the parents culture ,regional languages, who have already discarded them in the dust bins of political oblivion Their actions and behaviour speak much louder What is most surprising is that the ruling combine is speaking in divergent views after taking the cabinet decision There is also no concerted efforts to accentuate their decision of choice to the parents The propaganda adopted by the BBSM is massive and consistent, though they may have no followers ,but passive listeners giving them a false impression of support Even the Ministers are speaking out of turn and threatening their own Govt, at times A serious note must be taken of NCP now openly expressing their disagreement publicly after being a party to the cabinet decision of which they are also a component The propaganda of the BBSM must be counteracted effectively to nail their hidden agenda The Govt is playing a silent spectator ,giving the impression as if it is trying to have the best of the both t6ye worlds and being impotent and undecisive in spite of the clear verdict by the parents There have been even out of the state speakers inducted in this vilification campaign, who appear to be needing chicken soup to shore up their fickle minds People are closely watching the Ministers , who are still sitting on the fence, expressionless and mute, instead of coming out openly in support of the cabinet decision giving the democratic choice to the parents Nelson Lopes Chinchinim 9850926276
