RAVI NAIK & HIS PRINCE SON ROY IN GOA.

Among all his sons, Harilal was the most mischievous and robust son of Mahatma Ghandi. He was according to Ghandi was not a disciplined boy befitting to Mahatma Ghandi’s status. When Harilal went out of the decent and disciplined way of life, doing things against law, order and morality and thereby spoiling the public image of Mahatma Ghandi, father Ghandi told the authorities that ‘I DISOWN MY SON – DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO WITH HIS INDISCIPINED WAY OF LIFE’.

Ravi Naik, the Home Minister of Goa is a public figure and as such his activities should be done under the disciplined manner. When I say his activities, even his son’s, Roy Naik’s activities come under this category. Public has all the rights to screen and comment on the activities of public figures and their close family members as well when they commit breach of discipline. There is a saying in Konkani ‘ RAZA PODON MHONTLEAR MORT MARUNK ZAINA’. Just because his father is the Home Minister of Goa, Roy Naik cannot commit “hara-kiri” of discipline by taking the law into his own hands. Roy Naik has already been accused in the Court by Scarlet’s mother of giving Drugs to Scarlet who was found killed at Anjuna Beach. This was a serious allegation Scarlet’s mother made against Roy Naik and as such his father Ravi Naik cannot remain as silent spectator to this accusation against his son. As a public figure Ravi Naik is responsible to the entire Goan public to absolve his son of the accusation made by Scarlet’s mother. Till such time, Ravi Naik must accept the alleged guilt of the mischief of his son and tender his resignation from the Cabinet or else Chief Minister Digambar Kamat must ask Ravi Naik to resign from his Cabinet. Public figures should be clean in their discipline and they should be above suspicion. There is a saying in Konkani "UZO NASTANA DUNVOR EINA". Without any substance Scarlet's mother will not name Roy Naik in the court. It is risky for any person to hold public office and allow his son to commit a crime. If Home Minister himself is siding with his indisciplined son then how there will be efficient law and order situation in Goa?

On the blind support of their fathers, few young mischievous sons of the Goa ministers are taking law into their own hands and commit crimes in society. ‘RAZA PODON MHONTLEAR MORT MARUNK ZAINA’. Ravi Naik and all the ministers in Goa whose sons are accused of committing crimes and rowdism in society, following in the footsteps of Mahatma Ghandi must disown their Rowdy and Criminal Sons and leave them into the hands of authorities to decide their fate. Mahatma Ghandi as the real son of his real father showed his calibre of disowning his mischivous son. Will our Goa Ministers do this as real sons of their real fathers? If they are real Congressmen then the Congress Ministers of Goa will follow the example of fatherly Congress figure Mahatma Ghandi. Otherwise Goa will face lot of problems when new artificial Princes that is, the sons of Ministers will act as Sanjay Ghandi of Emergency era in India. I feel social activists must join together and go to Delhi and personally bring this incident to the notice of Sonia Ghandi and other top Congress leaders especially those who are in charge of Goa Desk. By all means the “Dadageri” of our Ministers and their rowdy sons must come to an end.

Since the Portuguese rule ended in Goa, we created another Portuguese class of ‘Dictators’ in Goa. Who are they? They are the Ministers and their sons and relatives who are become like Agente Monteiros in Goa. Like Agente Monteiro, they can harass, rape and even kill anyone like Scarlet and Nadia Torrado. Goan public must revolt against this type of Dadagiri of our politicians and their sons. Portuguese dictators were far better but not the new artificial dictators we are having in Goa now in the form of Politicians and their sons. Portuguese dictators had respect for law and morality but not the latest Goan dictators who got no respect for anything in life. For sex and cash they will do anything, even they will sell their wives and daughters and expect others also to do the same. It is a pity that Goa is heading towards the wrong direction.

Goa can be saved from further disaster if and only if the Goa Church takes a very firm decision to raise firmly and openly its voice on regular basis against the injustice done in Goa by the persons and authorities concerned. But, by the way, is it possible in the current situation when our Priests themselves are involved in rendering injustice and accepting injustice against the teaching of Jesus Christ? Goa Church always failed to fight for justice when its voice was very audible and powerful but gradually its influence on Goa will thin down because of outside and non-Goan influence on Goa with the continuous influx of non-Goan Catholics into Goa who do not care for Goa Church. Hence, while still in force, Goa Church must play its role rightly.

A. VERONICA'S REPLY TO MARIA DIAS.

From: maria dias.

Hi A Veronica
I was not there for night vigil,
I was present for the morning meeting, at Panjim we were all made to sit in a big church or school hall i cant remember now, I doo remember there was a article on Herald along with Photo all of us sitting on chairs.
This was before Dec 1990.

God Bless You.
Maria.


A. VERONICA REPLIES:

Hi Maria,

Goa-Kuwait Solidarity Center never organised any meeting in Panjim at Church premises. I am sure you must be referring to the meeting organised there by Kuwait Goan Evacuees Society that collected Rs. 50/- from each applicant with a promise to take them back to Kuwait. I was in no way associated with this Society and Goa-Kuwait Solidarity Center has nothing to do with it. Hence, my inability to assist you.

Thanks & Regards.
