The Goa Su-Raj Party is indeed happy that the Goa's Roman Catholic Church
has broken it's 'silence' over the inefficiency, involvement with the
drug-peddlers and traffickers and all sorts of other anti-social activities,
reducing Goa to a pot of crime-world, blessed by the democratically elected
Government of the day led by a weak-kneed CEO Shri. Digamber Kamat as the
State's Chief Minister.
It is, indeed, in time, that the Church of Goa, a powerful influence on
the psyche of Goans, has poured out it's apprehensions about this ruthlessly
corrupt government of the day. Otherwise, it would burst itself from the
inside, sooner than later.
Goa Su-Raj Party, it must be remembered, was the only one to have objected
to the Church of Goa flirting with the corrupt and the communal governments
of the day since long, when it objected to the Church's hosting of
traditional 'Christmas Tea Parties' to entertain the who is who in Goa's
politics at the very center of the Goa's Christian Center of Power, the
POWER OVER ALL EVIL. In a letter to the Archbishop of Goa, Goa Su-Raj
Party's incumbent President had asked the question of the Goa's Christian
Church's powers that be , that by entertaining the corrupt and the unholy
elected members of the government, irrespective of their religious beliefs,
if it was not CONDONING their acts of commission and omission and sending a
wrong signal to the world at large that all was well. This Party is happy
to say that the Church of Goa did take note of this communication and did
act, to some extent. But this Party has always felt that it was not enough.
With this bold and cutting 'Press Statement', the Church of Goa has done
well to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.. Only, the most despicable, brazen and
shameless Government will want to still remain at the helm of power after is
total exposure.
The Goa Su-Raj Party congratulates the Archbishop of Goa, as also Fr.
Maverick Fernandes of CSJP, for coming out strongly against the style of
functioning of the 'public sponsored government' and does hope that the
Church will take a stand of an alert and powerful 'watchdog', always
staying aloof, patting the government on it's back when it does well by the
people and castigating it, even to the extent of whipping it, when it goes
against the wishes and aspirations of the common man. But more importantly,
the Church of Goa will have to be more of a watchdog to see that it's own
rank and file does not compromise it's stand by mixing freely with the
corrupt members of the government to the extent that it has to step in to
fence for them.
Last but not the least, the Goodness of the Church of Goa must not be taken
as it's WEAKNESS.
Cheers

Subject: [Goanet] Church indicts Goa government for shielding drug traders
* The Goa Government and our politicians along with the Government
machinery continue to protect, promulgate and promote the vested
interests
of criminals, goons and all sorts of anti-social activity. The
police-politician-drug nexus is fully entrenched within Goa and our
politicians do not have the will nor the resolve to put an end to it
- obviously they want to benefit from the kick-backs, rewards and the
money
power that they enjoy. This article is from sify news.
