FORSULO DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE REAL CULPRIT.
A fact-finding mission launched by an
outfit linked with the Goa Church on Saturday said the arrest of a man for a
series of desecrations of holy crosses in Goa seemed to be a ploy to “divert
attention”.
“It has been reported that one
Francis Pereira has admitted to have single-handedly desecrated and vandalised
one hundred and forty-odd religious symbols in the last five years,” Fr Savio
Fernandes, executive secretary, Council for Social Justice and Peace (CSJP),
said in a statement.
The above news is gone viral. It is really difficult to admit
that one person has committed such heinous crimes single-handedly and as per my
observation the investigation carried of his actions was shoddy. He was shown
on the wall walking but not shown how he climbed up the wall nor shown how he
brings his vehicle to the spot of vandalism. Did he used the Ladder or did he
climb on the shoulder of one person who was with him and reached on top of the
wall? Otherwise did he indicate his
expertise (if he has) of a thief Jean Valgean as described by Victor Hugo in
his epic “Les Miserable” where Jean Valgean climbing the walls without any
other outside assistance?
Secondly, during the course of the interrogation and
investigation as shown in the TV, why the instrument or hammer with which he
broke the Crosses and Statues not shown?
Was it small hammer of the type Psycho Raman Ragao used in early seventies
in Bombay to kill the women to suck their breast and to drink their milk? To break the Crosses constructed of Stones
and Cement is not an easy job. It will
not break in one hit easily and that will create loud noise alerting the
neghbours.
Taking into consideration all these factors, it becomes
difficult to admit the version given by Parricar. I still feel Parricar and his government
machinery is geared up to fabricate the facts and instead feed the people
especially the Catholics in Goa on Goebellian lies. By using Goebellian lies
Hitler made lot of progress in his quest for the world conquest and ultimately
lost everything including his own life and also that of Dr. Goebell. The same fate will fall on Parricar very shortly
because he is giving an impression that he is siding with the real culprits who
are actually the brain behind these crimes and Francis like a real Forsulo
looked to become scapegoat. The truth must be openly disclosed. The evidence of
suppression of truth is further confirmed when Parricar as CM himself has
conducted the investigation when this is not his job and he got no business to
usurp the power of the Police.
The way Francis Pereira acts during the investigation, it looks
that he is not a criminal nor a culprit but just helping the Police in their
investigation. This was further
fortified the way Police also talks to him as if he was their colleague. There seems to be something mysterious going
on between Francis Pereira on one hand and Parricar and Police on the other side.
This is the time for the Church and all Catholics minus the elected ones to
stand firmly together to fight for the truth and nothing but truth. There is
nothing for us to lean on Catholic ML’s who will stoop down if Parricar tells
them just to bend down. They are spineless to
fight for justice.

ENTERING OF CHORS IN OUR PANCHAYATS.
Hardly a
month is completed and some members of some Panchayats especially the
Sarpanchas and other members of the ruling factions started looting and acting
as feudal lords in some of the Panchayats in our areas. They have started demanding without any shame
bribe for the services rendered by the Panchayats. As per my observation, those Panchayat
Members who are involved in such bribe extortion are belonging to the lower
grade of the society with third grade family background and whose parents have failed
to inculcate a sense of dignified discipline
in them. They are brought up at their homes like “Chor and Bamtte”. For
this reason they are committing such dirty acts.
There was a time during the Portuguese rule in Goa when our
village affairs were administered by a one man village body called Regidores who used to control the
village affairs very systematically. He was selected by the higher authority on
the basis of his character, educational background, discipline, morality and
the knowledge of the subject he would handle.
However, now we have Panchayats comprising around 10 members and
still we cannot put the village affairs on the right track? Why this inefficiency? It is only because of the greed for illicit
money extorted as bribe from the villagers by the elected members. The next 5 years are going to be very bad for
us. Normally it is not easy to get your work done in your Panchayat unless you
pay as bribe to the Panchayat which amount then distributed to all the members,
the bigger share goes to the Sarpanch.
For this reason there is so much of pressure to get elected in the
Panchayat. And precisely because of this illicit money collection, Panchayat
members are become rich within a very short time. I see this evidence with my
own eyes in front of my own shadow. Otherwise, how they can build bungalows,
restaurants, hotels and purchase expensive cars? What is their salaries they get from the Panchayats? Below my nose there are so many of them who
fall into this category. They don’t even have shame to mingle in society when
people call them as “Chors”. Many of such chors are daily Church goers and also recipients of holy communion.
The other malady
afflicted to our Panchayats is the interference of the husbands of their
elected member wives mainly on the basis of their reserved quota for
females. These husbands act not only as
“de facto” spokesmen of their wives in official dealings but also as”de
jure”. How low our democracy has stooped
because of the low grade category of our low grade elected members. These husbands are wielding
more powers than their elected wives. Their
only motto is to acquire power and illicit money if necessary even by selling
and supplying their wives to the customers. And how this type of activities are
functioning without a warning from the higher authority is itself a big
question mark. In view of what I said
above, are we worthy of this democracy which is converted into a mockery by our
politicians, common men and political leaders?
