F.N., before heaping praise on speakers, needs to do some research for the consistency in political ideology over one decade. The very fact that attempts are being made to polarise the Goan dissent to the migrant issue by implying that Catholics are opposing Hindu migrants should act as an eye opener. This double standard in secular Hindus is not new and dates back to 2005 when the Ganv Ghor Rakhonn Manch opposition to gated housing projects in Salcette was claimed to be about nervousness of the Church because Catholic domination in Salcette is under threat from Hindus coming into mega projects. These mouthpieces of common resource looters who change their colour as per the political seasons are probably yet to be recognised by F.N. in his communalism quest.... Unfortunately, such vicious elements are given a platform at Goa Sudharop and Goanetters meets under the guise of being inclusive. -- *Soter D'Souza* *Gaunkar - Communidade of Serula* -- FN* फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا +91-9822122436 AUDIO: https://archive.org/details/@fredericknoronha TEXT: http://bit.ly/2SBx41G PIX: http://bit.ly/2Rs1xhl Can't get through on mobile?
