This is regarding the demolition of the Little Flower Church in Delhi by the demonic type of people of this planet who are the worst enemies of India and whose only motto in life is to see India is splitted into innumerable pieces. With this demolition can we the minority Christian community trust any more the India’s ruling political party the BJP to give a feeling of meting out justice to the Christians in particular and minorities in general? I feel ashamed to be a citizen of this communal country which otherwise is so great, so long and broad and having produced great intellectuals and sages who have not only dazzled the world by their sheer intelligence and excellent oratory in support of India’s stand on Secularism and yet with the silent nod of the higher ups trouble the minorities.
For example, when Swami Vivekananda went to America representing India and Hinduism and addressing the Parliament of the World Religions attended by 7000 highly sophisticated and brainy attendees at Chicago in 1893, said he “I come from the country that build Temples, Masjids and Churches” proving the existence of secularism in India and also co-existece among all the religious communities”. While Dr. Francisco Luis Gomes a Portuguese Parliamentarian elected from the South Goa Constituency to represent and to protect the interest of Goans in Goa, stopping over in Europe while attending the Portuguese Parliamentary session, addressed to those highly intelligent Europeans detaiing our grieances. This was much before any Ghandis and Nehrus could be born and for that matter any Indian from Bharati land could do as our Dr. Gomes did. Dr. Gomes addressing to the Europeans said – “I come from the land that produced the great Epics Ramayana and Mahabaratha and produced the game of Chess.”. Going a bit further added Dr. Gomes by saying “I have come here in Europe not only to ask freedom for my land Goa but also to demand full freedom to my country which is suffering too much under the colonialism of Europe. In his statement Swami Vivekananda praised Indian secularism while the other my Goan brother, Dr. Francisco Luis Gomes praised India and Indians as a whole without naming any particular community.
Now after knowing the Christian Church in Delhi is demolished, I ask this question, are we worthy of the compliments by Swami and by the Doctor? Are we really secular or still communal ? When the case of the construction of this Church is still lying in the court, why those fanatics took law into their own hands to demolish it?
Good that it was Church only but if it was a Masjid, I am sure situation will go the Babri Masjid way. As a Chief Minister could not Kejriwal do something to avoid this situation? What guts he has to ask us to vote for AAP in Goa? It looks BJP and AAP are same, both are communal. I think Goencho Avaaz is the only solution for us because what I observed in this party is this that there is not a single mmber of dual character like Dr. Jaxkeyl and Mr. Hyde and it is headed by the most upright man ex-Captain in the indiian Navy, Capt. Viriato Fernandes.
