To condemn the attitude
of Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parricar in sending a letter to bjp chief in
Karnataka, as given to understand, indicating the willingness of Goa to share
Madei River water with Karnataka, the Musical Warrior group which was formed
under the leadership of the late Fr. Bismarq who was as alleged killed by the
Parricar’s agents, a meeting was held in Panjim at the steps of Panjim
Church. This meet was attended by a good
number of people coming from different parts of Goa. Among these people only the two prominent
Tiatrists namely Wilmix and his wife Sharon attended but those who rendered
songs on Fr. Bismark’s murder and gained money and fame by using the name of Fr.
Bismark remained at home. In fact these
people are obliged more to join in this movement because they are the direct
beneficiary of the death/murder of Fr. Bismark.
But unfortunately they are selfish Tiatrists, they want to fulfill their
obligations first. For this reason, some people distrust the Tiatrists.
It is said that Goa got
liberation on 19th December 1961 ushering in the Democratic era in
Goa and uprooting from Goa the Salazarist dictatorship. It is to be observed by the readers that Goa
was not liberated on 19.12.61 and democracy did not dawn on Goa. In fact, as
stated by the highest judicial authority of India, that is, the Supreme Court of India, in its landmark
judgment on Pe. Chico Monteiro from Candolim, stated that on 19th
December 1961 Goa was conquered by Bharat Serkar. Hence, the word applied for
Goa as liberation is wrong, 19th December should be called the day
of Goa’s Conquest.
Secondly, actual
democracy never came in Goa and Salazarist dictatorial practices never ceased
from Goa since the Portuguese Salazar was replaced by a Goan Salazar in
Parricar who by discarding the democratic norms used his “dadagiri” in his
typical dictatorial manner and without consulting anyone in Goa sent that
letter on Madei Water to BJP chief in Karnataka. By acting unilaterally Parricar acted worst
than Salazar as if Goa is his “Azo’s” property.
It is two years now
since Fr. Bismark was, as alleged, killed but still the culprits are not caught
when everybody knows who they are. It is
because of the lethargic attitude of Goa government that has no right to rule
over Goa when it cannot give life security to Goans. Just to pass a judgment saying Fr. Bismarq
died thru accidental drowning death is not a final answer. Parricar is become a topmost dictator in Goa,
he does not care for anyone even for the Tribunal which is handling the Madei
water dispute and when it was under the judicial probe how Parricar can
interfere in this matter by sending a letter to Karnataka? If he was a real democrat, Parricar would
have waited for the Tribunal’s result but since he is the dictator he bypassed
the authority. When this is the case,
how can we rely on this Goan Salazar?
Under the leadership of Sudeep Dalvi the musical warriors conducted their
proceedings where singing items were performed by Wilmix & Sharon, Sidanath
Buyao, Pio Antao, Kennedy, Sudeep Dalvi and others with chorus by others. A.Veronica
Fernandes spoke on the Goan Salazar who is worst than Portuguese Salazar.
