MEETING TO CONDEMN ATTROCITIES ON MINORITIES

.

Today at 3.30 PM at Azad Maidan Panjim, attended by a huge crowd, a public meetng was held to raise the voice of concerned citizens against the atrocities committed on  the minorities in Goa and elsewhere in India where the governments at the Centre and in Goa are watching as mute spectators.  It was well attended by the Christians as usual and Muslims too, not only this even addressed in greater number by the Muslims, including Muslim females. This is a rare occasion for me to see such a secular meeting and metropolitan too at Azad Maidan in Panjim.  One of the speakers was a Muslim lady scholar and one of the Compeers was a Muslim too Zeeba Khan along with  her brother Usman Khan, both of them controlled the proceedings well.

The others who spoke were Fr. Robin Rodrigues, Mr. Soter D’Souza, Sabrina Martins, Asif and Raju Naik.  The best speech was delivered by Fr. Robin the Parish Priest of Bastora, like a King David’s Psalm asking God guidance to move in a rough way. Soter D’Souza in his speech with lot of quotations of great men exposed the governments at the Centre as well as in Goa for being mute spectators.

Sabrina Martins detailed her  activities in fighting for justice even against the dictate of the politicians and government. Raju Naik asked “if cow is our mother then bull is our father? “  Asif disclosed how Modi government since coming to power has spoiled the economy of India. Chandrakant spoke against the atrocities committed against the Harizans quoting Ambedkar for his excellence.

Earlier soon after the start of the proceedings, well-known Stage artistes Anil – Olga entertained the huge crowd with their beautiful songs, two duets and two solos which were profusely applauded by the gathered attendees.  The highly political solo of which type one rarely listens was rendered by Olga very beautifully with a repeat performance.  Those who sees Olga for the first time were totally dazzled by her singing beauty and physical beauty too.

One well known comedian  who promised to perform there has regretfully failed not only to come but also to inform of his inability thereby putting the organizers out of track and in tension.  This is not the job of an upright man, he should know the value of the word and promise.

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.
