Regards Stephen Dias D.Paula Date: 4.1.2014 Mob: 9422443110 SHOCKING NEWS FROM PARRIKAR Yesterday on 3rd Jan 2014, I have read in all the local newspapers a news report coming from Parrikar telling Goans that he will not allow an entry into the casinos by February end. This news came to us as shocking and embarrassing to all the Goans especially for those who would like to play or were adapted with the casino gambling eventhough it is not good. It is not fair for Goans only to shut their entry into the casinos as it is not their fault since casinos ships are already having permission to remain in Mandovi by Parrikar and having their offices in the shores of Panjim. It is very simple, how one can be stopped entry into his own house. The first step what Parrikar should have done is sent these casinos out of anchorage away from Mandovi river and then automatically Goans presence in casinos would have been limited or reduced to minimum. By giving such an order that Goans will into be allowed entry in casinos is very much insulting to us. In the same yardstick he could have very well said for no alcohol drinking, no gambling in 5-star hotels, no prostitution, no urination, no defecation, no smoking, no dancing in open streets/roads/halls etc is allowed in this state. I feel he should think twice before such an order is in force.
