Refer: News report in Herald dt 23.4.2014 entilted ' NO ENTRY FOR GOANS IN CASINOS AFTER POLL"
Let me say that Parrikar is a wise men and highly intelligent person. He is now planning to bring a sort of decision that there will not be an entry for Goans in Casinos after the Poll. ( Herald news dt 23.4.2014) I say that Goans do not need CASINOS in River Mandovi at all. That is the final clarion call from us. Already our Youth has gone astray and finished their parents money and even sold their properties, taken loans etc. for sake of gambling in these casinos. What will happen once the entry of Goans youth stopped into casinos as per the Parrikar statement? What will he achieve? When these addicted youth Goans see that these Non-Goans entering in casinos for gambling surely they will revolt and decide further course of action which may go into the business of thefts, crimes and prostitution etc. Already crimes are taking places in Goa , breaking up window glasses from cars parked and selling the car stereos etc. This is a ridiculous decision taken by Parrikar for banning entry for Goans instead of he should have asked casinos to vacate. What i feel is that Parrikar is just deviating this issue in order to keep this casinos permanently in Mandovi River. Will it be for his ulterior motives to get funds for the BJP Government but at what cost? Environmental damage, navigational river congestion, prostitution and gambling etc. It will be prudent that Parrikar puts a stop to this casinos stay in this river and once for all ask them to vacate Mandovi waters.
