To condemn the attitude of Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parricar in sending a letter to bjp chief in Karnataka, as given to understand, indicating the willingness of Goa to share Madei River water with Karnataka, the Musical Warrior group which was formed under the leadership of the late Fr. Bismarq who was as alleged killed by the Parricar’s agents, a meeting was held in Panjim at the steps of Panjim Church. This meet was attended by a good number of people coming from different parts of Goa. Among these people only the two prominent Tiatrists namely Wilmix and his wife Sharon attended but those who rendered songs on Fr. Bismark’s murder and gained money and fame by using the name of Fr. Bismark remained at home. In fact these people are obliged more to join in this movement because they are the direct beneficiary of the death/murder of Fr. Bismark. But unfortunately they are selfish Tiatrists, they want to fulfill their obligations first. For this reason, some people distrust the Tiatrists.
It is said that Goa got liberation on 19th December 1961 ushering in the Democratic era in Goa and uprooting from Goa the Salazarist dictatorship. It is to be observed by the readers that Goa was not liberated on 19.12.61 and democracy did not dawn on Goa. In fact, as stated by the highest judicial authority of India, that is, the Supreme Court of India, in its landmark judgment on Pe. Chico Monteiro from Candolim, stated that on 19thDecember 1961 Goa was conquered by Bharat Serkar. Hence, the word applied for Goa as liberation is wrong, 19th December should be called the day of Goa’s Conquest.
Secondly, actual democracy never came in Goa and Salazarist dictatorial practices never ceased from Goa since the Portuguese Salazar was replaced by a Goan Salazar in Parricar who by discarding the democratic norms used his “dadagiri” in his typical dictatorial manner and without consulting anyone in Goa sent that letter on Madei Water to BJP chief in Karnataka. By acting unilaterally Parricar acted worst than Salazar as if Goa is his “Azo’s” property.
It is two years now since Fr. Bismark was, as alleged, killed but still the culprits are not caught when everybody knows who they are. It is because of the lethargic attitude of Goa government that has no right to rule over Goa when it cannot give life security to Goans. Just to pass a judgment saying Fr. Bismarq died thru accidental drowning death is not a final answer. Parricar is become a topmost dictator in Goa, he does not care for anyone even for the Tribunal which is handling the Madei water dispute and when it was under the judicial probe how Parricar can interfere in this matter by sending a letter to Karnataka? If he was a real democrat, Parricar would have waited for the Tribunal’s result but since he is the dictator he bypassed the authority. When this is the case, how can we rely on this Goan Salazar?
