Bhumputra confers ownership How on earth those on rented premises, tenants, illegal occupants be baptized as sons/ daughters of the soil. The period of 30 years occupancy with a protective clause against eviction or demolition during pendancy of case. and right to claim within 6 months is tailor made to favour the illegal occupants. Mr CM you must be conferred the highest honour of the land for this treacherous legislation converting illegality into legality Which State in India has offered this privilege to Goan community on any other state It is rightly stated that APP must assure in maintaining identity, culture of Goans,instead of promising free electricity, which issue is imagination of APP, not a demand by anyone MGP was first to batter away Commuuninade land under tenancy act, Ownership of Land to the cultivator and thus destroyed aged old institution Congress too did not do anything better has appeased the migrants for consolidation of vote bank Was the protest to walk out deliberate as speaking against the act would have embarrassed many legislators also depending on migrant votes and having created migrant hot spots Why then raise a storn over Bhumiputra bill outside the Assembly.No one is convinced about the sincerity of such propaganda C.M is challenging to fight it out in the courts of law,If it looses it can still claim high moral ground that vested interest torpeded the good intention. Which political party will knock the doors of judiciary or does it wants spirited citizens to take the bull by its horn, while they enjoy ring side view MGP , tried to merge Goa with Maharashtra but opinion poll fortunately kept our identity alive BJP AND CONGRESS have not protected the identity of Goans .It is selfishness to be in power ,dominated all their attempts.The influx of non Goans is diluting the demographic status of Goa, besides the immigration ,migration have aggravated the situation It is no secret the Govt appointmements favour non Goans for obvious reasons Bhumitra is latest efforts in the line to appease migrants purely for vote considerations. ZUARINAGAR Dramapur panchayats are already in the hands of outsiders and soon the Assembly will occupied by migrants It is blatant attempt to convert illegality into legality against all canons of justice That the bill which has wide ramifications against settled laws was not given notice of 48 years and mowed down without discussions, shows that opposition is in connivance now wants Governor not to give assent to bills,a ridiculous demand What Goa needs is a party to protect and preserve its culture and identity, before we become strangers in cur own land
