Mob: 9822386579 Ref: RLAF/Press Date: 14.7.2007 "Save Goa Front" to table Roman Script Bill The "Save Goa Front", in its very first appearance in the newly formed Goa State Assembly will be tabling the "Bill' to amend the Goa's 'Official Language Act" to include in it ,official recognition to the Roman Script. The "Bill" is expected to come up for discussion on a Friday as a "Private Member's Bill", during the forthcoming Assembly Session. The Supremo, of the "Save Goa Front" Mr Churchill Alemao himself, is expected to move the Bill. Mr Churchill Alemao till date has been in the forefront of all activities involving the entire Konkani Language movement. It will be remembered that the 'Save Goa Front" even fought the recently held Assembly elections with "Recognition to the Roman Script" as one of the major points in their election manifesto. Having won, in the two major constituencies of Navelim and Curtorim, dominated by Roman Script users, it is but natural that the "Save Goa Front' should take up this, long overdue, amendment Bill , on priority . Mr Churchill Alemao is very optimistic, of the Bill being passed by the Assembly, without any hinderance, from any quarter. It will be remembered, that the Congress Party had made two moves in the recent past to table this same "Amendment Bill" but backtracked on it, at the last moment, on both the occasions. The "Romi Lipi Action Front" feels, that the present set of M.L.As of all the Parties are an understanding lot, and will do right by the people. All the people of Goa and the Salcete people in particular will be keenly following the happenings in the Assembly, especially when this "Amendment Bill" is introduced and discussed. The "Romi Lipi Action Front" has asked all the people to be vigilant of their respective M.L.A s during the discussions on the "Roman Script Bill". Should any of the Congress M.L.A s, attempt to hinder the smooth passage of this "Bill", this time again, then they stand to be exposed, and it will be proved, beyond any doubt, that it is the Congress Party that has been all along , denying the people , their Constitutional Right. These M.L.As should then be ready, to receive a fitting reply, from their own voters.
