This is in reference to the DVD on Goan support
to Kuwait’s liberation
movement which was organised in Goa by Goans
under Goa-Kuwait Solidarity Centre. This
movement was done in Goa after the invasion of Kuwait
by Iraq
under Saddam Hussein.
This DVD is excellent and while watching it I
as a true Goan got my Goan feelings evoked. It was very surprising Goans have
done such a mighty and rich movement, unbelievable but had to believe after
watching this DVD. Because of this
movement, as I was told by many that Goan community in Kuwait acquired
lot of goodwill from the Kuwaitis. The
speech delivered at Azad Maidan Panaji by the visiting Kuwaiti high official
from the Interior Ministry, Col. Jumma Al Kholifi, brings tears in one’s eyes. As a initiator of this movement, A.
Veronica’s speech creates thunders all around befitting his position in this
movement and his high political background of international politics.
I
feel every Kuwait Goenkar must see this DVD which is distributed free of charge
by Mr. Veronica. Thru this DVD let everyone especially Kuwaitis and Goans know
how great hearted Goans are to Kuwait
from where they earn their daily bread. Let history witness the great
heartedness of Goans.
But what is disturbing is the fact that most of
the prominent Kuwait Goans who were on forefront to organise football
activities, church activities and socials are all absent in this movement. There was no Goan millionaire like Sam
Alphonso and Avertano Furtado seen anywhere in the DVD. They made millions from Kuwait but failed to be a part of this movement
to show their gratitude to Kuwait.
High earning Goans like A.B. Fernandes and such others have totally absented
from this movement though they made lot of money from Kuwait. Why
such an ingratitude? Do their employers
and sponsors in Kuwait know this?
Where were Salvador Dias of KGA and Tony Gonsalves of UG? Where were the
top persons of Kuwait Tiatrists Organisation hiding? All of these Goans and
others like them want Kuwait only to earn Dinars and not to support Kuwait when
Kuwait needed it.
Most of the females working in the companies,
Offices , Banks and Oil companies are not seen in this DVD, I don’t know why
they remained shy of supporting Kuwait
when Kuwait
made them what they are. Even to marry
they got male partners only because of Kuwait. Ingratitude is thy
name Oh Kuwait Goan women!!.
Kuwait Goans are on record to have helped
financially the priests and nuns for their schools and religious places and
even to their commercial ventures but in this DVD none of them are seen, Again ingratitude shown to Kuwait Goans. For Konkani movement Kuwait .Goans gave lot
of financial help but the recipients of this fund also remained away from joining
in this movement. All are ungrateful. They are all exposed through this DVD.
While concluding, I salute Bab Veronica for
coming forward to organise this movement in support of Kuwait where Goans are
very much loved by the Kuwaitis, they are grateful to Goans for this
movement. If it was not for Veronica,
nobody else would come forward to organise such a mighty movement. Veronica and
his team and all who participated in this movement as seen in this DVD deserve
highest compliments.
No Goan has done what Veronica has done from
Kuwait for the cause of Goans. Konkani
movement was his baby, promotion of Indian football in Kuwait was his genius,
Direct Flight Movement was another movement in which he played a pivotal role,
promotion of Tiatros and Mandos was yet another movement in which his role was
the best. But above all, Goa-Kuwait Solidarity Movement was the best among all
and this DVD will give the testimony.
