GBA meeting at Azad Maidan (A report with clip & pics) clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zn19byDKfM Where is everybody? For god sake it was not something meant for a particular religion Nor it was meant for a particular community or tribe or caste It was for Goa or Goans as a whole. Why should we go? It’s not our Job, we don’t understand it any way. What’s in there for us? Meaning – Cash incentives, Free transport, snacks/drinks etc (Some southern Political rallies etc, leaders offer Rs.15,000 to whoever organises a bus full of people (say 25-30). Out of which he will have to pay Rs.100 per head and the bus charges say Rs.2000-3000). Snacks and water bottles borned by the politicians. (Looks like we even accept cash to stay out) Who else will be there? Meaning Celebrities like Hema Sardesai, Remo Fernandes, Oscar Rebello, Prince Jacob, Nana Patekar etc (if nothing for us then..) Ami paunaim (We are not free) Some may say 'Will let you know' Meaning - after consulting their political leaders to whom they support When the horse is thirsty, one can only take the horse to the pond and not the pond to the horse Ami nidentle kedna utt’ttole gai? (When will we wake up?) At first, on seeing the situation at around 4.30pm, we even thought the meeting might have been cancelled as the CM is out of Goa etc The police force outnumbered those who actually present. Police were on all side of the Azad Maidan. Infact, two of the 4 gates were seen closed, guarded by police There were 5 police buses, one of Lady Police only. Where is everybody? If you take away 50 odd media/press persons, the remainder would be less than 150 that’s around 5.30pm Imagine, what would be the resultant figure if we also take away Moira, Tivim, Nuvem, Ambelim etc delegation /group Amongst others, we also saw Fr. Erimito Rebelo, Prajal Sakhardande, Florian Lobo etc In this clip you will also see 2-3 speakers in the later half http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zn19byDKfM For pics sent earlier, you may refer this link http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2010-October/200257.html joego...@yahoo.co.uk for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc
