Thanks,
Well, I have enquired 3 different delegates (including 2 who were staying
with us) all 3 say they don't remember Mr. Faleiro saying 'go to hell'. What
they do remember him saying repeatedly (to the security) 'close the door'
(meaning- Don't disturb, put them out and close the door). However, they
were initially, allowed to stay in but ordered the security to 'close the
door' when they started putting some questions to him which amounts to waste
of time which was fast running out.
After closing the door, Mr. Faleiro did explain the 40 odd delegates there
about his action. To this, more than half of the delegates gave a round of
applause to show that they too agree with Mr. Faleiro. About 10 minutes
later, the interacting session was over and all vacated the hall only to
find the waiting press just outside the exit door of the hall (inside the
secretariat)
When the press was told clearly 'they are not allowed inside' they should
have respected that and at least stay outside the hall to interview the
delegates on their way out. But instead, the press (a group of about 8 with
Cameras/mike etc) made a forced entry through the little back door located
to the left of the dais shouting slogans like 'Shame Shame' 'Murdabad' etc
It seems, some delegates there were bit concerned about this forced entry as
this amounts to breach of security at high security buildings such as this
one (Secretariat/Assembly building and offcourse the safety of NRI
delegates).
I may write more on GGC Right now, I am busy, today being 3 kings feast at
Chandor, Cansaulim & Reis Magos-Verem. As one cannot attend all the 3 feasts
and Friends/relatives same time, decided to visit today to Verem/Chandor and
tomorrow (7th Jan) to Cansaulim where I have too many friends plus I am the
Chief Guest at one of the 2 Tiatrs there.
Next, some one may want to know on this..
'SGF Convenor restrained from attending Global Goans Convention'
[GOAN-NRI] "Go to hell" Hi Joe. Put some light on this news
Go to hell', Eduardo tells journalists
BY HERALD REPORTER
PANJIM, JAN 4 - Was the Government trying to suppress the voice of NRGs
attending the
three-day Global Goans' convention 2007?
While the open session on day-two started at 3.45 pm at the Secretariat in
Porvorim, members
of the media, surprisingly, were not allowed to attend the session.
