MUSICAL PROTEST IN TUEM.

 

 

Yesterday,  8^th November at 4.00 PM, a musical protest was held in Tuem village in front of the house of Amarnath  Naik.  This was in protest against the maltreatment given to Amarnath by the Goa government  and Chief Minister Parsenkar in  particular who even got Amarnath arrested for fighting for justice and rights.

Amarnath Naik’s issue is burning issue in Goa today, he is stripped of his Mundkarial rights by the Parsenkar government in a very dictatorial manner even though I/IV Form entitles him all the rights and privileges of his dwelling place and area around his house.  In that area there were innumerable fruit bearing trees on which he was gaining his livelihood and maintaining his family.

 

His House

However, recently, under the direct order from Parsenkar as alleged, 442 such trees were mercilessly cut by the government machinery to make way for the construction of Parsenkar's Electronics City there in an area of 8000 sq. metres. This was agricultural land but thru his dadagiri Parsenkar converted into non-agricultural to construct his project without proper legal licenses, as it was given to understand.

This issue of Amarnath is an issue not only of Amarnath Naik but of all the tenants in Goa.  In view of this, this issue must be challenged by every tenant in Goa otherwise it will be like “AIZ MAKA- FALEAM TUKAM” due to which every tenant in Goa will become another Amarnath Naik because nobody can trust this government of BJP under Parsenkar.

The local Panch addressing the gathering

What this BJP government does is unbearable, even Salazar’s regime did not commit such atrocities during Portuguese time in Goa.  If Salazar regime was bad in Goa, BJP regime is worse in Goa.  Even Salazar’s dictatorship was worse, Parsenkar dictatorship is worst.  Who is better now?  Salazar or Parsenkar?  Which government is better now?  Portugues government or BJP government?

Because Portugues government was better Goans were treated with respect and dignity by the Portuguez government but this BJP government that claims to be the supporter of poor people is liquidating poor Goans like Amarnath Naik who is a poor Goan. And on top of it we call ourselves as liberated from Portugues rule.  We are not liberated but we are conquered people and because we are conquered we are treated like slaves as Parsenkar is doing.  For conquered people many facilities and rights are denied as Parsenkar is denying to Amarnath Naik.

Salcette group came by special Bus

It is time now for all the tenants in Goa to come to the rescue of Amarnath Naik by supporting him in his fight against BJP government’s dictatorship.

The musical protest was organized under the skippership of Sudeer Dalvi in which Kennedy Afonso, Zico, Cansaulim group and others took part. The absence of Fr. Bismark was greatly felt.  Though people came in buses even from Salcette but locals were less.

DEATH OF FR. BISMARK.

Fr. Bismark is no more, his dead body is already found but as of now there is no concrete evidence to prove the cause of his death though rumours said he was murdered by his enemies for whom he was opposing for destroying the environment of Goa.  If this is true then the life of activists in Goa will be in danger.  Hence, it is of paramount importance that all the Goa lover Goans to come under one banner to fight to get justice for this crime.  We cannot take things lying down.  Sudeep Dalvi and his band of energetic activists must spread its wings all over Goa and create a mass awakening to get justice for Fr. Bismark.

By liquidating Fr. Bismark if his enemies feel the voice of opposition is going to be silenced thus clearing their path to destroy environment of Goa then these enemies of Fr. Bismark are sadly mistaken.  On the contrary the enemies of Fr. Bismark will face opposition for their anti-Goan activities with greater fury than what they faced from Fr. Bismark. Only the time will give testimony to what I said and that time is not very far.

When the great Greek philosopher Socrates of ancient Greece was forced to die by the rulers of that time with the allegation that he was poisoning the minds of the youth, holding the cup of Hemlock in his right hand, remarked Socrates thus: “if by liquidating me you think you will have peace then you are sadly mistaken.  The very youth whom you are going to protect from following my philosophy will try to examine and probe the cause of my death and when they find out that what I was propagating was right then they will revolt against you with greater fury which you will never be able to control. In view of this, what I could not achieve during my life time, the youth will achieve after my death”

The same thing will happen in Goa in the aftermath of Fr. Bismark death. The whole of Goa will probe the cause of his death and once convinced they will release their anger on all those who are responsible for his death; this anger of entire Goa will be uncontrollable.

When I met him for the first time in Panjim during the musical protest on Tirakol, very humbly he approached me to know who I was.  Then I met him many times during our protest meetings in Tirakol and elsewhere. He was very affable and knowledgeable Goan whose absence we all Goa lover Goans will feel.  May his soul rest in peace.

CONGRESS PAPRTY AND ITS APOLOGIES.

Commit a mistake first and then issue an apology, is the culture of Congress Party.  Indira Gandhi introduced the Emergency Rule in India in 1975 and when its effects became worst, Congress Party apologized.  Casinos in Goan waters were introduced by the Congress Party rule in Goa and when its results became negative on Goa, Congress Party under Luizinho Faleiro issued an apology and pleaded with Goans to forgive Congress Party and re-elect it.

One thing is certain, according to my observation, besides Congress no other political party in Goa or individual show any sign of shaking BJP in Goa.  Dethroning BJP from power in Goa is an imperative necessity otherwise BJP can even be like Nazi Party in Germany turning Parricar/Parsenkar into a Hitler and other hardcore fanatics into Dr. Goebbels, Goerings and Wilhemstrasses. Nazism is coming to Goa speedily because cunning BJP leadership in Goa is hell-bent to do this and overwhelming majority of Goans are helping BJP in this direction.

To challenge the brute might of BJP, Congress Party in Goa must start now only to fortify its base by promoting new faces to contest the coming election. In the recently concluded Civic Poll, in Fatorda, Vijay Sardesai has already shown the way how to win the Poll by fielding the new and young faces. Congress in Goa is still not showing any sign of discarding the old faces and bypassing the defeated candidates who are become a big liability on Congress Party because these defeated Congressmen are known to acquire enormous assets thru illicit means and corruption and yet Congress leadership in Goa is keeping its silence thus becoming a partner in the crime. 

The Congress Party’s grave was dug by all the defeated candidates in the last election.  Since this is the case, how people will re-elect them?  People have lost their faith in them to do anything good for Goa.  They are interested in amassing wealth for them only.  It is their lobby that dethroned former Congress president John Fernandes from his chair. Otherwise, John Fernandes was doing his job just appropriately.

John Fernandes is the need of the hour for the revival of Congress hopes in the forthcoming election. Will any supporter of Congress vouch for my statements?
