We should not forget that all of us are Indians at first. Many of the so-called non-Goans have actively contributed to the commerce, economy and education in Goa. In fact the non-Goan laborers play a crucial role in construction of roads, scavenging, fishing and other activities which the Goans detest to be involved with. I strongly believe that most Goan politicians who have a single mined agenda of achieving their own prosperity even at the cost of Goa, its fragile environment and Goans, are the real enemy of Goa and are needed to be taken to task at first. If non-Goans or Goans are indulging in illegal and immoral activities and are posing danger to the society then they should be tackled as per the law of the land-- our civil and law enforcing agencies should be extra careful and vigilant about it and the offenders be punished. New regulations and laws should be framed and implemented to control nuisance activities, such as defecating or urinating in public places, etc. Thank you Jeevan
