On 19th December the Goa Government celebrated the so called 53rd anniversary of Goa’s liberation. The ground reality however is that we far from being liberated. We need to launch a battle to unshackle Goa from the current rampant corruption and nepotism that is escalating by the day. We do not have a free and independent press as the government keeps blackmailing the media with threats of blocking government advertisements. Even the judiciary is being intimated and sought to be manipulated by the politicians in power. This once paradise of the east needs to be freed from the menace of casinos, prostitution and the flourishing narcotics trade. The evil of communalism and casteism has been damaging the otherwise secular fabric and harmony of Goa. The government has been stifling the democratic values with impunity. We need to be also liberated from the swelling number of rapes, murders and dacoities. Only then will Goa be truly liberated.
