OUR CHURCH ROLE IN THE COMING ELECTION.

“My sons will not be my sons, they will be bastards if they don’t take the revenge of those who perpetrate this crime on me. Who are my sons? My sons are Shanawaz and Murtaza (his real sons) and all the sons of Pakistan”, said Zulfikar Ali Bhutto the hanged Premier of Pakistan in his masterpiece IF i AM ASSASSINATED, he wrote from his prison cell before he was sent to the gallows by General Zia’s Government. Similarly, from my home place in Goa, I write now that “Christians will not be Christians; they will be Christ killer traitor Jews if they do not help defeat the anti-Christian BJP candidates in the coming election. BJP’s only agenda is to liquidate Christians and harass Muslims, both these communities must join together to give a heavy defeat to BJP candidates. Being more numerically than Muslims, Christians in general and Catholics in particular in Goa have to play a major role in defeating both the BJP candidates in Goa. Christians were persecuted in many parts of India by the BJP and these persecutions have been sheltered by the BJP ruled states. When BJP candidates come at our door steps for electioneering, Christian voters should ask the BJP candidates their stand on these persecutions and also make them first apologise for the sins their partymen committed against Christians in other parts of India. Goa BJP unit and its candidates must be made responsible for the ills their colleagues committed against peace loving Christians elsewhere in India. The Goa BJP unit under Parrikar regime has done lot of injustice for Goan Chrsitians, namely producing of anti-Christian VCD, removal of Good Friday Holiday etc, and for this Goan Christian voters must never forgive Parrikar and his BJP. This is the right moment for Christians in Goa to show their true Chriastian colours, if they are real Christians and not basterdised Christians. If we forgive them, they will come again with more fury against us.

While election is approaching fast, what will be the role of Catholic Church in Goa? It has not come out with challenging and daring statement so far. There were no guidelines from the Church to Catholic voters in this direction. It looks Goan Church leadership may from behind the curtain support BJP as it was done by Rahul Gonsalves earlier, as reported. Our Church leadership cannot remain as silent spectator at this crucial hour saying "Church role is not to involve in politics". River Princess issue is a big political issue in Candolim and it was strongly and openly campaigned by the Candolim Church. Our Church in Goa should come out strongly against BJP and tell the faithfuls in the Churches and Chapels openly not to vote for BJP. The faithfuls are eagerly awaiting the instructions from the Church. The safety of Christianity and Christians lies in the defeat of BJP candidates. As I informed once to Rahul Gonsalves from Kuwait, 'we in Goa are victimised by communal political parties only because we are Christians'. In view of this our leadership from Altinho, Panjim must guide us in right direction and not to keep silence at this critical time. By keeping silence we will not gain anything, hence we must be vocal now. We don’t have as our friends in BJP.

In Phillippines with the open and strong backing of the Church the Government of Ferdinand Marcus was demolished. Cardinal Sin of Manila told the Catholic voters from the Pulpit to throw out Ferdinand Marcus Government and voters there obliged and did the needful. Even the then Pope backed Cardinal Sin. To help protect the rights of the persecuted and minorities, Vatican even supported the terrorist activities in Palestine under the leadership of Archobishop Capucchi. We in Goa were persecuted minority community by BJP and if we allow BJP candidates to win in Goa they will increase their strength in Parliament thereby giving more power to BJP at the Centre to harass Christians. We by all means must help demolition of BJP candidates in Goa to secure our community. Hence, the Church leadership in Goa must come out with open statement against BJP. At this hour Church leadership in Goa should not feel shy and afraid. We need a strong and daring leadership from our Church otherwise Christianity and Christians in Goa will suffer a lot and our Church leadership alone will be responsible for this.

In the past especially immediately following the annexing of Goa by Bharat, Dayananda Bandodkar and his lobby dubbed Goan Christians as anti-Indian and Pro-Portugues. Christians were treated as second class citizens and were denied some of the normal privileges. At that hour our Church leadership was into the hands of weak leader Mong. Francisco Rebello who did not even know that Dayananda Bandodkar was the Chief Minister of Goa. Instead he told me once “this president of Goa is a ‘POKO’”. During the regime of Bandodkar, Catholics in Goa were living in fear while our Church leadership did nothing to give a booster for Catholics in Goa. Our Church leadership and priests were acting like cowards. They should have issued heavy statements in our support by citing innumerable examples of how Goan Christians have fought for the freedom of Goa and India. Much before Nehrus and Gandhis our Christian Goans raised their voices for the liberation not only of Goa but of the entire India. Dr. Francis Luis Gomes and Abade de Faria were the first Indians to raise the voice of Indians in foreign soil against colonisers. Men like Bandodkar were traitors. They slipped themselves into the pants of Portugues Governador like slaves during the Portuguese regime to get personal benefits for them and when time came they called Goan Christians as anti-Indians. The same song is now sung by BJP. We have to oppose them and our Church must now direct and guide the faithfuls in right direction and that too immediately. If we win in our ideology it will be because of our Chuch guidance and if lose it will be only because of the silence of our Church. Hence, Neri Ferrao and his advisers must wake up and wake up now and now only.

KICK TRAITOR SARDINHA OUT.

That BJP is a communal party is known to everyone. That its anti-Christian feelings are known to everyone is also a fact. That the safety and future of Christians in Goa and elsewhere in India is in danger if BJP is brought to power is absolutely correct. Yet the Christian Francisco Sardinha the official Congress candidate for the coming Parliamentary election, with BJP support formed his own Government in Goa some time back. And thru this honeymoon with BJP, Sardinha helped BJP later on to form first pure communal Government in Goa under communal Parrikar.


Sardinha has done great injustice to secular fabrics of Goans by helping BJP to bring its government into existence thru remote control. One of the worst politicians in Goa is Sardinha. His track record shows he is one of the corrupt and selfish politicians. From the point of Marks Scandal of his Subrinha till his association with BJP his record was bad. By taking law into his own hands he made mockery of the mandate given to him by his voters. For helping BJP to gain power in Goa he has committed an anti-Christian act, excommunicating him from Catholicsm would be less a punishment for such a sin. It was not an ordinary sin but a sacrilegious act for which not only he will face the hell but even his whole “khandan” who enjoyed his wealth amassed thru cheating the trust of his voters who elected him to be under the umbrella of Congress and not to flirt like a “Pamprel” with BJP.


Some of the politicians are such greedy for power that to get it and to retain it by all means they will even dole their wives and daughters to their masters. And, by the way, aren’t they doing this? Who said No?


Because of Sardinha BJP came to power in Goa and because of it, BJP fortified its position in Goa. If this has happened in anywhere else Sardinha would have been stripped of his clothes and his marbles would have been displayed openly by his own voters from Curtorim constituency. By forming his illegal Government Sardinha has destroyed the secular fabricks of Goa. By joining hands with Parrikar’s BJP in forming his own Government Sardinha made mockery of his voters who elected him to serve Congress Party and not to sleep nude with BJP. The BJP is a curse on us because its main motto is do eradicate Christians and other minorities from Goa and India. They will never give peace for Christians and other minorities. They are anti-Indian and anti-Secular. In fact Election Commission should have banned this party from contesting election. And for such a party Sardinha aligning means a disgrace on Goa, on secular Goans and on Christians. Besides this, for a so called secular Congress Party of Italian Sonia Gandhi to give Sardinha an access to Congress means prostituting the credibility of Congress Party. By disowning Congress Party and forming his own Government with the support of BJP, Sardinha the rascal politician of Goa has not only rascalised politics in Goa but also committed a crime on Goa and Goans. Such a criminal should have been hanged publicly but instead Congress Party under Sonia Gandhi shamelessly rehabilitated Sardinha thereby proving to everyone that the current Congress Party is a party of prostitutes, of rogues and defectors who will never remain erect but always bend to serve their own personal agenda.


In view of this is it right to re-elect Sardinha in the coming election? South Goa Congress voters must think hundred times before voting for Sardinha. He will surely repeat the act of defection in Parliament for the highest bidder. Salcetkars in the past have done yeomen services for the cause of Goa and Goans. Now it is going to be their turn to teach Sardinha a very good lesson by kicking him out in the coming election. As it is, by electing him no good purpose will be served. His agenda is nothing good doing for Goa except promoting “Dhirio”. A rubbish agenda of a rubbish candidate of rubbish Congress Party. When he comes for electioneering, people must demand a public apology from him for his earlier misdeeds he committed by aligning with BJP. People especially his voters and close supporters instead of acting like his ‘chamchas’ must get a firm undertaking from him that he will remain erect and not act like a “cheddi” from Curtorim by sleeping with any altu-faltu for the sake of power, if he is elected. However, I doubt he will remain faithful to his Congress Party and in the light of it, Salcetkar in particular and South Goan voters in general must kick him out before he kicks out his voters mandate.


This is the only opportunity for the upright people to teach Sardinha and of his likes a very good lesson in the coming election. The MP’s in India are become Maharajas with all the Maharaja amenities to lead a luxurious life at taxpayers cost. Once they are in Parliament they fail to identify themselves with the common persons thinking that they are come from feudal background. The money and bribes they get as MP’s are too big. Hence, they should be taught a very good lesson and Sardinha should be put first on the hit list. I have seen in the past Salcetkar rising to the occasion and saving Goa and Goans from disaster. Sardinha and his Congress Party are not to be trusted any more. The mess that we face in Goa now is the creation of all the bastardised Congressmen who never remained faithful to Congress ideals. They are all Aya Rams and Gaya Rams. They want Congress only to grab power. They are all illegitimate sons and daughters of their mothers and only the illegitimate voters got them elected. The real Goans, real sons and real daughters of their real fathers will never elect defectors and traitors like Sardinha.

Veronica,
If you reason without any proof its not hitting the point. We haven't forgotten that Sardina was Chief Minister with the support of BJP. Ravi, Digu n others were one time mgp and BJP members but only Mathany Saldanha is labeled as BJP, infact he never joined BJP but remained in their govt out of principle of not switching party. To me nobody in Congress has any love for any party accept for getting into the ruling party they will gladly screw each other over it, we are all know the pimps n pros' sticking with the Congress just to be on the ruling ticket. I would say get rid of congress first. they have ruined goa since liberation.. infact minus the communalist tag, the BJP has done what congress failed to do for years ! But at this point salcete ppl worry more about their bread n butter than the dhiro priority that Sardina is ignorantly pushing up. Ask him on Special Status or MOPA he doesnt believe its worth taking up, well good news is we don't believe he is going to get our votes eithier. If Congress win it will only be migrant votebanks n the chor lobby that supported them.Mathany on the other hand deserves a chance because he is not a true sleazy politician by nature but a professor by profession with some principles, credibility n a good agenda and that is what we consider important to Goa ! I don't believe ppl shuld support Congress just coz there are no alternatives the other parties haven't been given the opportunity because all Congress does is talk shit down South into pro secularism and waging a war on the communal BJP politics.
