The Herald’s issue of 06.07.21 on 2 topics under “Herald Insighs” column, were very interesting, the first one reminded us of how Rane Sr. felt so low seeing in UK our young boys doing the dirty jobs of washing and cleaning the Bathrooms and Toilets at the Airport. Rane Sr., please note that if we the real sons and daughters of Goa are suffering in our own land it is only because of our Goa ruled for longer period by the traitors Maharastrwadi oriented anti-Goans like you. And on top of it all, you are hurling a sort of accusation on young and energetic Goan boys coming to do the menial jobs in the UK? You being a holder of topmost post of CM of Goa failed to create job avenues to jobless then I say “to hell with you” stupid man because you are the most irresponsible CM of Goa in the Goan history and whose inclinations towards Maharastrawadis from the day one you joined the anti-Goan MGP are the same.
Pratsphsingh Rane as a Minister starting first in the Minstry of Dyanandna Bandodcar as a Law Minister and then mainly as the CM lived with all the CM’s luxuries for you and for your family including your son who got all the life amenities and luxuries ready made. If it was not like this may be your son or any son of any of the fathers would do the same type of job in UK. Now because of his bright stars he got all the benefits and luxuries of life.
Mr. Rane you have I am sure not even cast your cursory glance and never even bothered to find out the position of all those whose names were registered on the Register in the Employment Exchange and then to make your own assessment how to create the jobs for them. You felt in UK at the Airport our boys are doing the dirty job but you stupid man, there is no dirty or clean job, a job is a job and it has to be to the liking of one who does it. Besides, one must have dignity of the labour. However, leaving Goa and migrating to UK for the job itself is a dirty exercise for which all the Ranes who were on the forefront to rule Goa must be held responsible in failing to create jobs for the unemployed youth in Goa.
Somewhere in 1958/59, seeing the huge number of Goans employed in the Gulf, the Portuguese Governador of Goa, Vassalo e Silva issued a circular to Goans abroad who were willing to return and work in Goa, Governador volunteered to provide them with suitable jobs. Respondng to this Circular at least as I know, 3 Goans employed at lucrative Oil sectors in Kuwait and at least 4 from Qatar applied to the Governador’s Office in Goa and after proper scrutiny of their Applications they were employed in Goa in the government and Mining sectors.
To be completed.
