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?
