Thank you Floriano Bab and Dr Dumo for attending last night's meeting and sharing your observations and thoughts for all. I can imagine it must have been quite late by the time you got home and yet you shared this with all. Likewise to everyone else who attended - you stood up to be counted and speak out for Cansaulim, Goa and Goans. An invitation was extended to Digambar and the Leader of the Oppostion. While an auto-reply from CMs e-mail id acknowledges that the message will be passed on to his office there was no peep nor squeak from either of these worthy gentlemen nor would they show up for a small meeting in a village where Goans want their Government to listen to them! It helps to impose Section 144 and keep the villagers from coming to the Assembly to voice their opinion. Where does anyone have time for Goans nowadays when you can set about busying yourself promoting the interests of Builders, Casinos, Miners, drug dealers, SEZ, Airport, sea-links and other such humungous con-schemes?
For that unholy alliance of that scam-bag/scum bag the unworthy MLA of Cortalim Constituency and a disgraceful grand-son of Cansaulim village, his cousin Aggie Alcacoas of the Queeny Realty and other scandals fame (ask the GFA and the Kuwaitcars) that has now set about finishing Cansaulim through the Queeny Meadows projects in Arrossim village and the Gonsalves-Dias Gates Project and his dirty mongrels Aboobakr Shaikh they' better think twice before intimidating old men like Inac-Xavier, old widows, and even Fr. Randall Barretto.
As you said conspicious by his absence was Matanhy Saldanha although the invitation was extended to him and many others. In fact his silence on all these projects in his village namely the Gonsalves-Dias Gates Project, Queeny Meadows in Arrossim fields, hoards of Hotels that are coming up along the coastal belt of Arrossim and Cansaulim that will further damage and cause coastal erosions while our "Good Government" then goes with their begging bowl for funds that they can siphon off, our Khazan lands that will forever be destroyed and forever change the landscape of our villages and Goa. Matanhy Saldanha has the time to attend meetings in the Mapusa Market but not for his own villagers that are being harassed.
