The four important demands of the organisers
Rarely in the recent past such a mammoth crowd attended at Azad Maidan showing their disgust and opposition to PDA and ODP in Goa introduced by the tin pot MLA’s who are become nuisance for Goa. These MLA’s are so dead that they cannot listen to the voice of the people who got them elected with the understanding that they will act and do what their voters want them to do. In my constituency our MLA who is creating headlines now in Goa is fighting for the introduction of PDA and ODP looks to be blind and deaf to the wishes of the people who elected him to MLAship. How he can push this topic on the voters and who authorized him to be an slave of this topic?

Where are all the constituents including my elder brother who were flirting with him during the election campaigning, gone now? Why are they become so dead now? Why cannot they speak out loudly and openly and warn their MLAs not to cross their boundary because constituents of their constituency while voting him back to the Legislative Assembly never gave him free hand to reject people’s wishes. One of these MLA’s is responsible to play dirty game by being a king leader to induct the present government in Goa when they had no mandate to form the government. They have done a worst robbery by robbing the Congress of its majority.
The huge number of attendees
However, there is no proper system going on in Goa for this reason democracy was killed in Goa when minority vote gainers were given chance to form the ministry. There is a saying in Konkani which says, “Eka Kapddan Bail Matari Zaina”. The local MLA should be very careful because he lost the love and confidence of the voters from his constituency. He must thank his stars for getting re-elected because his opponent from Congress Party was not the proper match for him. Besides, money played a major role in the last election, the mother of all Molestations did the distribution of the money.
Coming back to the yesterday’s Meet, it was fabulously attended by the genuine Goa lover Goans, the artificial Goans who are the settlers in Goa coming from Karnataka were hiding under the Petticoat of their Wives or concubines because these “haddeche” Goans are not interested in Goa and Goans’ future, they want Goa to make money for them by extorting bribe from the people.
One of the main speakers giving his speech
Speaker after speaker thundered the Azad Maidan yesterday with their courageous statement without fear; one speaker said “Vijay Sardesai is worst than a Prostitute”; Michael Lobo was mocked and humiliated by Walter Lobo from Calangute by imitating Lobo with Lamani’s dress. He drew more attention on him from everyone gathered there. According to me the ire of the people was focused on Lobo more than on others. Among the audience some people were talking that “Lobochem Map atam borlem, chodd zalem tachem”, he will not get elected again because he proved to be unreliable.

Dr. Claude Alvares who was attending the meet by sitting among the audience, was spotted by the organisers and requested to say a few words which turned out to be best educative words when he said that “the decision of the Panchayat becomes an official document only when it was approved by the Graham Sabah. Fr. Britto in his speech indicated his disgust over these politicians, MLA’s and Ministers who are all out to disgrace Goa

Well known Senior Tiatrist Cyriaco Dias indicated his disgust over those who introduce PDA and ODP and further pointing out how Calangute is going to be the loser of its pristine characteristic. He also disclosed his credential of a Freedom Fighter. My admiration goes for the Freedom Fighters no doubt but what type of the Freedom Fighters? Definitely not the ones who went to sleep immediately after Goa was invaded by the Bharat. If these Freedom Fighters had to indicate their power and love for Goa they would not sleep at home after 19.12.61 by accepting the Pension and Tamrapatra. The great FF Lambert Mascharenhas has already shown his disgust for the invaders of Goa and regret for being a FF. Mr. Sinari felt ashamed to be a FF when Goa is going for the destruction. He regretted for being a FF when Goa of his dream was not formed. These freedom fighters (only the some including Sinari) had to suffer so much, the barbaric corporal punishment from the Portuguese Agentes and the results of their suffering is worth their sacrifices? They should have all in unison rejected their pension and surrendered their Tamrapatras with the statement that “they have not suffered from the Portuguese for this disgraceful end”.
Walter Lobo
But to do this, these Freedom Fighters must have guts. It is not enough to shout the slogans like “Nehru Zindabad and Salazar Murdabad”. One prominent FF said “Goa and Goans were better under the Portuguese rule”. I admire him for speaking the truth but I would admire him still more If he had to surrender his pension and Tamraptra and disowned those so called FF who were robbing Goans by showing their Guns. Some of the biggest “Chors” and criminals during the Portugue rule in Goa were Free Fighters.

The others who spoke there were the great Goan Iron Lady, affectionately called as Mummy, was Victoria Fernandes from St. Cruz who participated almost in all the public meetings and demonstrations organized for the cause of Goa. Though she could not walk freely, she was brought by her two aides and then she spoke so well making some cry even. Her son Rudolf spoke so well by giving encouragement to all to oppose PDA & ODP. Besides others, Roshan Mathias, Walter Lobo, Sabena Martins and Peter Gonsalves ALSO spoke.
Thru this meeting a salvo was fired sending a strong message to Michael Lobo, Vijay Sardesai and the Government.
