The NGO you are referring to is Lok Shakti. We at Goa Su-Raj do not like or rather never beat around the bush. At one point in time, I was the founding director of Goan Observer. My mission was to get as close to Rajan Narayan of Herald fame so that I could study him at close range. Why? I wanted to know at close range why a guy who wanted to save Goa would'nt recognise another who wanted to do the same. While at Herald, Rajan Narayan didn't even want to look at Goa Su-Raj. He even wrote an edit pre 2002 Assembly election when GSRP had fielded 8 candidates. It ran like this: GOA SU-RAJ PARTY HAS FIELDED GOOD PERSONS. BUT THEY ARE NON-ENTITIES. What better opportunity thand being the director of GO? As time passed, I saw the real colours of what Rajan Narayan was made of. And I detest certain colours. So I not only got out of GO but also I threw out Rajan Narayan from the premises I had given to him dirt cheap. Of course, the premises belonged to a good friend of mine whom Rajan Narayan turned into my enemy. I respect too much Dr. Francisco Colaco. He is straight, but gullible. At one point in time I made a trip to Margao all the way to tell him just this: "Dotor, Goa Su-Raj needs you more than Lok Shakti needs you". We have known that his goodness is being used for his weakness. Are we surprised that Datta Naik's name figures in the Task force for RP-2021?? :-)) Was Datta Naik not the catalyst to get Digamber Kamat out from the BJP? Was gullible Churchill not used? But then Datta Naik has misunderstood Churchill. Churchill has always been a power center by himself. It is but natural that he should be destroyed to shore up Datta Naik's so called 'Secular' - the CONGRESS. If Manohar Parrikar had to give in to Datta Naik's dictats, Manohar Parrikar would be the SAINT to day. The question that is to be asked is "Why has Goa Bachao Abhiyan remained solidly apolitical?' Is it very difficult to understand? Check the relationships. With all said and done, GOA ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION GROUP did not find favour with GOA BACHAO ABHIYAN. Why? Because Goa Su-Raj and Goa Environmental Action Group has me as a common factor? Ask this question to Dotor Oscar Bab. Goa Su-Raj is watching things closely. And in time Goa Su-Raj will explode things in people faces. For friendly relations and friendly commitments are nothing for Goa Su-Raj, What matters is Goa and the well being of Goans. That is why it has been born. And it will remain firm on Goa's territory even it has to expose its dear dear friends. And now Goa has the SENTINEL. to do just that. It was long in coming. Today we see Herald's Editorial article by Soter D'Souza critiking Goa Sentinel's release function. 'Violence instead of Non Violence promoted on Gandhi Jayanti is the theme. Soter must know basic things first. Gandhi who promoted non violence was shot to death with a gun. Goa Su-Raj likes to re-interpret Gandhi's non-violence theory in a different manner when non-violence has been taken for weakness. ( I have said this before 'goodness being taken for weakness') Besides, If Hitler wanted to get rid rabid dogs, he would have gassed them? We believe that Gandhi, in all his wisdom never thought of finding a remedy for political rabid dogs through non-violence. We have. Besides, we would be doing them a service in that they will be sent packing before they realise what hit them. Mercy killing?? However, at the SENTINEL'S release, we went the soft way considering that a dog only gets to be rabid not by choice, besides he being the man's faithful friend. However, Soter has made us realise that we should have substituted the toy gun with the noose hanging from the nearest tree. In your post above you mentioned the name of Goa Su-Raj Party. Therefore, we give you this. floriano goasuraj ----- Original Message ----- From: "ashley pinto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 08, 2007 1:49 AM Subject: [Goanet] Goan NGOS and politics > dear goanet readers. > i am one of those thousands of goanet readers who have been following > events in goa specially of late,and like others was concerned about dire > state of things.what made me write this article was some of the recent > postings on goanet which has been focusing on real issues like garbage, > unwanted immigration,corruption and so on.Most people stressed that people > of all shades and specially NGOS should play a major role. > I was particularly impressed by stand taken by save river sal front,south > goa action group, goa suraj party ,utt goenkar and that of some priests. > As my loyalties lie more towards salcette, i thought it would be more > effective if all south goa NGOS combined forces with the rest of north goan > NGOS.As LOK SHAKTI were in the forefront during the present election and the > RG11 plan,taking up real issues like communalism and illegal land > dealings,and having very influential leaders,i thought they should take the > lead in coordinating and spearheading the fight against current burning > issues.
