Speakers at the dais
In his speech, Elvino
Rodrigues gave a brief history of the activities of G-K.S.C. in Goa and in
Kuwait and how it gained goodwill for Goans in Kuwait. He especially stressed
on the excellent work A. Veronica performed single handedly in the promotion of
goodwill between Goans and Kuwaitis thru the activities of G-K.S.C. Fr. Gabriel
Dias once a resident priest of Kuwait Church spoke very philosophically on the
subject of Pains of invasion suffered by all those affected by the
invasion. Manuel Fernandes spoke on the
subject of the benefits of our employment in Kuwait while Philip Dias spoke on
the new association of Gulf Goan Returnees which is being formed under the
initiative of A. Veronica Fernandes.
Preliminary work has already been done and shortly it will be registered
with the appropriate authority and membership drive will be initiated to
involve in it Gulf Goan returnees in Goa.
A section of the attendees
Prof Sergio Carvalho in
his powerful speech which was listened with rapt attention by the audience,
highlighted on the ill effects on Goa since the ouster of Portuguese from Goa.
He lamented that in the name of liberation which is a misnomer while correct
word is a Conquest as per the Supreme Court of India, all suppression is
imposed on Goans by the conquerors even to the extent of denying special status
to Goa which he felt Centre will never give.
A. Veronica Fernandes said that on 19th December 1961 Goa was not
liberated but invaded by the government of India. He said the liberation of
Kuwait is totally different from Goan liberation where we have no true freedom
to decide our affairs. He said the first
Goan to fight for Goa’s liberation were Pintos from Candolim thru the Pintos
Revolt initiated by the Catholic Priests.
It was great to see two Kuwait Goans, namely Mario Rebello and
Raymond D’Sa coming from Kuwait to
attend this meeting while many other Goan visitors from Kuwait were seen
drinking in the Bars and Tavernas like Bebdes.
Many of the ex Kuwait Goans who tasted Chicken and Lobsters only after
going to Kuwait like born “Beiman” refrained from attending this Meet. Still others who made money from Kuwait and
acquired benefits from Kuwait refused to attend to this meeting when they
gained so much from Kuwait employment.
On top of it they claim to be Christians when they fail to perform
Christian principles. Overwhelming majority of Kuwait Goans are such rubbish
Beiman, many of them got girls to marry
only because of their employment in Kuwait. If it was not for Kuwait many of us
would rot in Goa unwanted.
As usual, the real Beiman Padris and Madris even after receiving so much
of benefits from Kuwait failed to show their faces in the meeting hall. These
Beiman Padris and Madris are possessed by the Devils for this reason they acted
as traitors to Kuwait benefits.
It was a pity that none from the Tiatro circle attended this meet, especially
from among those who worked and earned so much in Kuwait. And also those who
visited Kuwait and gained so much from Kuwait.
