Pinheiro rightly points out the double standards of Goans. We have said it 
before that Goa's case is one where Goans want to eat the cake as well as 
preserve it at the same time. Goans curse the migrants but do not have a bit 
iof remorse when patronising a migrant trader rather than a goan. There is no 
noise made by our politician proponents of 'special status' on the status of 
goans in markets and tourism industry. We are asking special status to protect 
the land when the economy of Goa is controlled by U.P Bhaiyyas and Gujaratis. 
Even the taxi drivers are migrants now. Our politicians are not interested in 
building political and social leadership but are only feathering their nests by 
raising emotive issues like 'Special Status' and the rest. No sooner lections 
are over they take 3 years rest and then for the next 2 years create unrest to 
build vote banks for the next elections. Are Gaons really convinced of what 
they speak?
