Re: ''POLITICIANS DADAGIRI IN GOA''

Dear Anthony Veronica,

With deep interest I read your article titled 'POLITICIANS DADAGIRI IN GOA' in Goa Kranti and was shocked to know the state of Goa now. What was Goa before and what it is now and in future it will never be the same. There is too much of politics going on and it has given rise to "DADAGIRI, DUDDUGIRI AND GOONDAGARDI''.

The recent sexual harasment cases of German girl by the politicians' sons have taken Goa by strom. It is absoletely true that politcian fathers do not correct their erring sons because they want their sons to live a luxurious life and commit the same sexual crimes in their hidden private bungalows and hidden private residental houses.

This does not mean that being the son of a politician he can exploit children coming from decent family background and misusing their fathers political power. They are the sons of their fathers and mothers and they are learning all these bad habbits from their parents who instead of correcting them they leave them on their own. Hence, these erring sons take advantage of their fathers' politcal power and ill gotten financial power too. I am sorry to say that if this type of dadageri continues then Goa will no longer be a safe place to stay for goans.

Veronica, I know you from your early age as we studied at Arpora School both together in the same class. You were always a smart boy in and outside class, all our teachers including the then great principal of the School Rev. Monsg. Philip Neri Mendonca used to like you very much both for studies and for sports. In athletics you were the top in Goa unbeatable. Did your son receive any inheritance from you? I understand he is one of the best Indian football players in Kuwait.

Veronica, your article is very wisdomatic, very informative and very bold. There is lot of genuineness in your writings. Nobody amongst the expatriates writes the way you write on Goa and Goans. Thru your indepth writings you show that you are a seasoned man on Goan political affairs. Your showing openly that you are a well read man. Your article you made more beautiful by introducing beautiful Konkani Sayings. Veronica, you are the same intelligent and smart as you were at Arpora. You are the only writer currently from Apora ex-students group that create impact on society. We ex Arporites are proud of you. Because of your writings goa-kranti is become a major force and major attraction and no other goan websites or goan blogs can compete with kranti. Even goanet is gone to secondary rung since you stopped posting your articles in goanet.

My suggestion to you. It is long time you worked in Kuwait. Decide now to retire and we have our solid group in Goa and in Bardez especially. All our ex colleagues are waiting to do something for Goa and they need a good person to lead and guide them. I assure you of our total support if you decide to quit. I am also intending to quit with many of my friends and colleagues.

The other earlier article 'POWER OF CHRISTAINS' is equally powerful. God has given you power and wisdom and blessing to write such powerful articles which shakes the might of the brute. Keep on writing and be truthful and sincere and the rest leave into the hands of God who will protect you. You are the only expatriate who so ferociously fighting for the cause of Christians.May God Bless you.

Day by day your writings in goa kranti enhancing the knowledge of all kranti readers and you are coming to the level of great writers. So keep up the good work. We require good persons like you to keep Goa floating.

Hope by reading your articles on goa kranti, the people of goa becomes alert and try to make improvements ,thus saving goa from sinking.

Thanking you,

NRIs Goa-related grievances on property and other issues

From: Joe Fernandes jfx62@yahoo.com
Date: Nov 5, 2008

Dear Sir/Madam

Greetings from Goa! This is Joaquim Fernandes, Sr Correspondent, Times of India, Goa edition.

We understand from sources in the local NRI department (headed by Mr Eduardo Faleiro) that the non-resident Indians of Goan origin, in Canada and other parts of the world, have various Goa-related grievances. These may relate to their landed properties in Goa or other issues.

We also understand that the Goa government was contemplating a bill to help NRIs sort out their property issues. This bill has reportedly been referred to a ʽselect committeeʼ which has never held a meeting.

We would like to agitate this issue by publishing an article (maybe more) on this issue of NRI grievances.
If you can provide us details about your grievances with the Goa government, either individually or collectively, it would provide us data for our article/s.
Naturally, if the matter is subjudice in court, we might not be able to write about it.

We would appreciate if you could send us your inputs in this regard. Kindly specify whether you are willing to be quoted or not. You may write back either to this address or to joaquim.fernandes@timesgroup.com

Please feel free to circulate my mail among your Goan friends.

Thanks and regards
Joaquim Fernandes
