Yes my grandaughter goes to an English MOI school, but yours should not 2011-06-18
Parents are aghast at the hypocrisy of the Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch leaders. It was an open secret that most of them have happily put their children and grandchildren into English medium primary schools. It was only when the fiery Adv Radharao Gracias made a public statement to the press exposing the hypocrisy of the BBSM leaders that more and more Goans are getting an idea of the real truth. Shashikala Kakodkar sent her son to an English Medium School - to a hated Christian institution like Don Bosco's no less! Her grandchildren are studying in Sharada Mandir where the donations to get one's child in allegedly go into thousands. Uday Bhembre confessed to *Herald* reporters that Radharao was right that his grandchildren go to an English medium primary school. He also said he could not interfere since he was not the parent of the children only the grandparent. "I don’t decide the future of my granddaughter. It is not right for me to decide her future," Bhembre is quoted to have said. He has no qualms however of deciding the futures of lakhs of children from middle and lower income families. Kiran Naik's child must be terribly confused now. Junior Naik has been pulled out of a Konkani MOI school and put into Bhatikar's English medium school. Yes Bhatikar is also one of the leaders of BBSM and yes he runs an English medium primary school. Now after the furore, Naik has taken his child out of Bhatikar's and is enrolling the child into Popular School, Margao. http://www.targetgoa.com/newsd-Yes-my-grandaughter-goes-to-an-English-MOI-school-but-yours-should-not-2520 -- DEV BOREM KORUM Gabe Menezes.
