On 6th of this month, 4th anniversary of the murder of Fr.
Bismarq was observed with a meeting organized in Panjim at the Institute Menezes Braganza Hall, attended by the local supporters of the priest as well
as special visitors from Orissa and Punjab. It is shame for the Goa government not to catch the
real culprits in this mysteriously murderous death of Fr. Bismarq. It is a
shame for the Goa government to neglect the seriousness of this case and just
conclude it saying “it was an accidental drowning case”.
Let me be true to myself and quote that great freedom fighter Ravindra
Kelekar about 35 years back saying “Ami Pro Portuguezuch zaunk zai” when he
noticed things going out of the way in Goa. His intention was to clearly
declare that there was no proper justice given by the concerned authorities as
it was done during the Portuguese rule. In view of this I take the liberty of
my free conscience and of the constitutional freedom of apeech and declare here
as “VIVA PORTUGAL – VIVA SALAZAR” not because I love them but because during
their rule in Goa there was justice existing. If they were ruling Goa now I am
sure within 4 hours they would track down the real culprits and solve the
mystery surrounding the death of Fr. Bismarq.
Goans who experienced the rule of our
colonisers and noticed the sense of justice of Portugal under Salazar I am sure
they will definitely admire them even
though like myself they would never accept their colonialism. There is nothing
going right in this so called liberated Goa which is become a big joke,
everywhere you see chaos, disorder and disrespect for law and order because the
law makers coming from the rotten background and with the corrupt family
background themselves are become law breakers since they are totally corrupt. People
fit to be “zotkar-xetkar” and Grave Diggers are become members of Legislatures.
So, what good we can achieve from these intellectually bankrupt people? State administration is an art with
qualitative education meant to rule the State but if we send donkeys in our
Legislatures to rule our State then we will have nothing but the Raj of Doneys.
It does not look there is government in Goa because the Pot Holes alone give a
disgraceful image of Goa under the rule of the present government.
The MLA’s and Ministers are so shameless
that they don’t even feel ashamed to show their ugly faces with big mouths and
long tongues. See the corruption where
our politicians, elected representatives and ministers are involved. See our local Panchayats manned by most of
the third grade elected representatives who are become so corrupt that they don’t
even care for God and because they don’t even care for God they do all the
corrupt activities which are against God’s commandments. Incidentally, they attend to all their religious
services in their respective religious temples indicating that they are holy
people. It is very difficult to get a single good person in Goa who will do his duties
and work in the public arena sincerely.
Such a level of character degradation was not existing in Goa during the
Portuguese rule especially among the public figures. During Portuguese rule in Goa there was
discipline, character, system and respect for rule and law because Portuguese
rulers were giving utmost importance for these characteristics and not like now
where our leaders are totally corrupt.
Analysing all these factors I don’t know in which direction Goa is going.
