Absolutely right Freddy, when will our so called overseas goans learn that mingling with alibaba and his thugs is not a matter of honour. I think if possible they would have Invited Micky too. And since they are Inviting the "EDUCATION SINISTER" they should involve him in some sort of intellectual debate to test his ability to speak.
I do understand our people in goa giving importance to these thugs as they would require their assistance sometime or the other but why on earth would our people settled abroad play up to these guys? Show some solidarity and boycot all goans that tarnish the image of goa and its people --- On Thu, 17/6/10, Arwin Mesquita <arwinmesqu...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: Arwin Mesquita <arwinmesqu...@gmail.com> > Subject: [Goanet] Re.
