It is a fact that Freedom Fighters are no longer fighting for the causes of Goa other than demanding to change anything and everything of Portuguese legacy in Goa. They are no longer interested in any issues that are destroying Goa. It seems they (excluding the freed criminals and thieves who were in Aguada Jail during the take over of Goa by Indian army) have supported (I do not want to say they have fought) the freedom of Goa only to merge Goa into Maharashtra and not having succeeded in that treason now they seems to be secretly supporting the take over of Goa by Non-Goans.
If i am wrong then the real Goans would see them in the streets fighting against the Government's and Politicians' whole-sale of Goa to Non Goans. If they really loved Goa, they should have been in the forefront fighting all the causes of Goa and Goans just as GBA and many other NGOs are fighting to save Goa for the Goans. Their more interest is to get their pension in the name of freedom fighters whether they deserve it or not. Latest is they are demanding the reservation in Government Jobs not only for their Sons and daughters but also to their grand and great-grand children. This is not the end, they will still come up with some more ideas and plans to get themselves and their generations going-on at the cost of Goan People.
Recently these so called freedom fighters under the leadership of Karmali came up with another idea that is to deport the Goan Christians to Portugal as these Christian Goans are opposing their hate campaign, hence a set back to their whole-sale plans.
