If Parrikar is the real son of his real father then he will use all his powers at his disposal to find out the real truth behind the Nigerians'“Dadagiri” in Goa and expose and punish the guilty including the politicians involved in supporting these Nigerians.
The Nigerians involved in this tragic episode at Parra and in Porvorim alleged to have told that some of the politicians owing allegiance to BJP in Goa are involved in supporting the Nigerians to carry on with their nefarious activities in Goa.
In view of this, Parrikar becomes more responsible to find out the real truth behind the accusation that his BJP colleagues are involved in supporting the Nigerians. If it is proved the Nigerians' allegation is right then Goan voters in the coming election must make this as an election issue to defeat the BJP candidates not only in the North but also in the South.
When his BJP Party is accused then Parrikar just cannot sit idly and blame others. Parrikar has got one dirty habit since his assuming power as the current Chief Minister of Goa to blame Congress Government for all the ills of Goa. Parrikar forgets that he was brought back to power not to blame previous Congress Government but to correct the mistakes of the previous government.
However, after resuming power, Parrikar and his BJP led government have started doing worse than the previous corrupt Congress Government. Parrikar should know that he was elected by the Goans not because he is the best administrator but Congress Government was the worst. In view of this people should not expect anything better from him for Goa and Goans.
Parrikar while ruling Goa will succeed only in communalising Goa further as per the principle of his party. On last Thursday in the Nigerians episode he not only disgraced his position as Chief Minister cum Home Minister of Goa but more than that he disgraced his BJP government. What a shame is it for the Goa policemen to receive beatings from the ruffian Nigerians and that too silently without retaliating even when they were equipped with their “Dandas” and Revolvers !!
I will not be surprised tomorrow the Nigerians will take away our Goan ladies from the arms of their male folks in front of the Goa Policemen. Parrikar and his BJP proved to be only a sermonising party and not the party that is capable to take action on wrong doers.
It was in 1958 if I can remember well, at Mapusa Duler Football ground while the football match was going on between Bemfica and Bicholim, suddenly hell broke open and thousands of spectators invaded the pitch. It was nothing but free for all, Pakles against Pakles and Goans and Goans against Goans and Pakles since both the teams comprised Goan and Pakle players,they had their respective followings who got infuriated when the Paklo Referee gave a wrong decision for a goal. It was such a furious fight that anybody started hammering anyone and that too ruthlessly.
But who finally controlled the burning situation? It was only one Paklo in Police Uniform and Revolver in his right hand. That was the calibre of Portuguese Policeman to control the rowdism and “goondaism” and because of this Goa then was safe haven for Goans but after the ouster of Portuguese from Goa, my motherland has become a very safe haven for the rascals not only from the other parts of India but also for negroes from Nigeria and other non Indians.
Because of life security Goans preferred Portuguese rule in Goa and many are still craving for such a law and order situation but like me definitely not Portuguese colonialism. Under Portuguese rule in many aspects Goans in general enjoyed good and peaceful life.
Under the Portuguese rule Goans were better protected by the Portuguese but not under Bharati rule which in the name of Liberation has recolonised Goa and because of this recolonisation of Goa by Bharat we in Goa are suffering from the persecution of Nigerians and other Indian Ghanttis who started descending on Goa freely immediately following the exit of Portuguese from Goa.
It is a shame for Parrikar government not only to allow a few dozens of visiting Nigerians to hijack Parra and Porvorim but also to take Goa as hostage and the Candolim-Calangute coastal belt under their control.
If Parrikar has got marbles in his underwear then he will as a Chief Minister of Goa find out which former Calangute MLA’s are involved in collaborating and supporting the Nigerians to carry on with their illicit trade.
And if Parrikar is the real son of his real father then he will investigate the truth and expose the culprits whether they are from the Congress Party or BJP.
