RSS threat to Goa culture festival >From Devika Sequeira DH news Service Panaji A quiet Latin quarter of Panjim that carries a distinct Iberian stamp to it has become the target of right-wing fanaticism of the RSS brand. Tying up with a motley group of freedom fighters under the Desh Premi Nagrik Samiti (DPNS), RSS members have threatened to shut down a popular art and culture festival scheduled to open on Saturday, because the saffron group believes it encourages and promotes Portuguese culture. A residential area of close-knit houses in the European style, Fontainhas is being encouraged and promoted for conservation by heritage lovers. A successful attempt to this end has been the Fontainhas Festival of the Arts promoted every year by the Goa Heritage Action Group and the citys municipal corporation, which has rekindled an interest in the distinct architectural and cultural identity of the area. The organisers scheduled the festival to coincide with the ongoing International Film Festival here, but many are worried about RSS threats. Goas Deputy Inspector General of Police Ujjwal Mishra said adequate security would be provided and the festival would go on. The festival is a blot on Goan society and encourages Portuguese culture RSS Goa chief Subhash Velingkers son Rajendra Velingker told the media.
