A thousand “Porbim” Bab Veronica for you for writing such a bold and correctly worded article “Where are they now in Goa?”, in goa-kranti dated 24.07.13. Before I never saw you writing such a wonderful article on such an important subject. During my last so many years of stay in Kuwait I saw our Kuwaitkars what they can do, they are only after cheap publicity with their names mentioned as Presidents, Gen. Secs. and so on. And those who give such cheap people cheap publicity are also become cheap. Veronic Bab, there is no journalist in Kuwait like you who can analyse the situation rightly and write correctly.
None of the Goan presidents and other office bearers of Kuwait Goan Associations are capable to motivate and unite people for the Goan cause either in Kuwait or in Goa except you Veronic Bab. If it was not for your intelligence and drive Konkani movement would not have come into existence in Kuwait and in Goa paving the way for the grand finale for the recognition of Konkani.
If it was not for your initiative Goa-Kuwait Solidarity Centre movement would never come into being. How greatly beneficial this movement proved to be for Kuwait Goans?
Besides you have immensely promoted the causes of Hotel Goan Heritage at Calangute, Direct Flight Movement, Konkani Martyrs Fund movement, Novem Goem Movement, Sour ground Kuwait football movement, Release of Kuwait’s POW’s movement and so many other movements.
While doing these movements there were so many so called Goan stalwarts including 4 Millionaires but all remained dormant putting onus on you Veronic Bab to give the lead for all these movements for the cause of Goa. And as a matter of fact if these movements had been initiated by any other Goan, I am sure none would support because besides you Veronic Bab people would not trust any other Goan such as Alex Wilson Coelho who robbed Kuwait Goan Evacuees Fund and demanded sex for job.
There is no Goan in Kuwait who can match with your knowledge, wisdom, drive and leadership. This is the hard fact one has to accept whether one likes it or not. But facts are facts. Your plus point Veronic Bab is your perfect character of which type none of the well-known Goans among Kuwaitkars display.
There are so many prominent ex-Kuwaitkars rotting in Goa but none among them show any interest in Goan causes in Goa Where is A.B. Fernandes gone and why he is hiding from public view? When in Kuwait as GM of Bahar he was shaking Kuwait but now become a cockroach. What Alexandre Fernades ex president of Colva Kuwait doing now in Goa? Hiding under the petticoat of his wife? In Kuwait he was making a big show but now in Colva sleeping. Where is Alex Wilson Coelho now? In Kuwait he was acting like Sarpanch but now no news. May be thinking on new strategy to rob Goan Welfare Society’s funds as he did earlier of Kuwait Goan Evacuees Society fund.
