KUWAITKARS SUPPORT KONKANI MARTYRS

KUWAITKARS SUPPORT KONKANI MARTYS.

On behalf of all my like minded friends and colleagues in Kuwait I strongly support the meeting arranged by Romi Lipi Action Front on 19th of this month at 3.30 p.m. at Lohia Maidan, Margao, as indicated in the below mentioned Press Release.

Everybody must be well aware how Kuwaitkars on behalf of "KUWAIT KONKNNI KENDR" collected a fund for these Martyrs after their martyrdom and disbursed to their next of kin thru proper channel.

KKK in particular and Kuwaitkars in general will never forget the immense sacrifices these Martyrs have made for the cause of Konkani. They have sacrificed their precious lives for the cause of Konkani and Goa. May their Romi Konkani souls rest in peace and may God give wisdom to the hard core Nagrivadis to accept the reality of Romi Konkani and support its recognition.

“Romi Lipi Action Front” to honour Konkani Martyrs on Goa Liberation Day.

The “Romi Lipi Action Front” which is spearheading the popular movement in Goa, to amend the Goa’s “Official Language Act of 1987” to include in it, the Roman Script as an official script for Konkani, will be organizing a function to honour Late Shri Floriano Vaz (the First Konkani Martyr) along with 6 other Konkani Martyrs from Agassaim , on the 19th Dec.2007 at 3.30 pm (Venue: Lohia Maidan –Margao).These Konkani Martyrs laid down their lives, for their mother tongue Konkani. The only Konkani they knew , they wrote and they read was Konkani in the Roman Script. They made the supreme sacrifice for this “Konkani” ie Konkani in the Roman Script. This blood of our Konkani-Martyrs cries for justice. It should not be allowed to go in vain. So says the convenor of the “Romi Lipi Action Front”, Mr Wilmix Wilson Mazarello.

The Programme will be a Show of Solidarity of Educationists, Linguists , Social-Activists, Priests, Nuns, Tiatrists, Entrepreneurs and Goans from all sections of Society. In short, it will be the entire of Goa paying their respect to the Konkani Martyrs and demanding official recognition to the Roman Script, which is the all-important need of the hour. Goans from every corner of Salcete and beyond are expected to turn up in large numbers , for a cause , which is very very dear to their hearts.
