The Editor Gomantak Times / Times of India Panjim Goa. Sir, Kindly publish our press note on your esteemed daily that is attatched herewith this short letter. It is group of Goans recently settled over here in Middlesex United Kiigdom in search of jobs and most of us are already employed . We are very much concerned whatever is happening in our sweet Goa , First of all we did not get jobs in Goa so we managed to do our Portuguese passports and come here only for the stomac purposeh and but our heart and soul are still in our tiny Goa. We are only survived here just we can speak good English orelse we would have come back home, thank God we were studied in English. We want our children back home to study in English so that they can come up in life and not to slog like thousands of other poor people of Goa. Whichever \Govt. that comes sto power in Goa they had made a point not to give govt. jobs for minoroities. We support Goan parents who chose for English medium in schools. We had fought for the konkani and not for this konkani that kwas impossed on lus by the then congress govt. with the cunning konkani leaders like Udhoy Bhembre, and and Pundalik Naik drafting that draconian official language act-1987. That bill had put thousands of christians young people in trouble as they were not in position to learn Devnagiri konkani hence became school srop outs thus giving us now hundreds of goondas, robbers, matka bookies and others. Please don't support the other issues like Marathi or Devnagiri konkani that will creat more goondas and robbers including illiterates. Thanks. Francisco Floriano Fernandes, Middlesex-UK.
