This is a blatant lie that is often repeated on this forum by people with
little knowledge of what really goes on in Goa.
What Parrikar did was put certain unrestricted holidays such as Good Friday
and the feast of SFX on the restricted list for government servants.
This is a very common pratice in the private sector.

Further ignorance and bigotry on display. Is Kali really human? Did Parrikar
declare Kali puja a public holiday for Goans? Is he then anti-Bengali?
