>From Joao fernandes, Quepem Is the Amendment to the Mundkar Act and to the Agriculture Tenancy act is passed in collusion with the landlord including the church?
The Goa Government has recently done major changes to the Goa Mundkar Act and Tenancy Act. The changes will effect the lower section of the society including the catholic community. It may also displace them from the land which they have nurture/cultivated for generations together. It appears that the force behind the present amendment is the feudal class of Goa. The church in Goa falls in Goa falls in feudal class as it is the biggest land owner in Goa . The presently amendment is passed by the BJP government may be in collusion with the Church and I have my own reasoning to believe so. The Church in Goa is known to raise its objections/voice/circulars/press note over any issue that affects to it follower. Though the amendment to Mundkar Act and Agriculture tenancy act is bound to affect major section particularly lower section of the Catholic community in the years to come, Even then the church is silent over the issue. So far it has not issued any notification/circular/press note nor its priest are involved in educating the people over the issue. The church may be silent or mute because the amendment is likely to benefit the church it being a landlord. The further truth may the amendment to the Mundkar act and the Agriculture tenancy act might have been done by the BJP government also in collusion with the church. If that is not the case then church will come in open in opposing the amendment or atlist it will take the lead in educating the poor masses over the amendments.
