Fr. Avinash Rebelo as President of MOCA washed his hands. If I have
precious items in my house and my house is open without doors, I would
keep myself alert, and also ask my neighbours to do so, so that no
robbery takes place in my doorless house. It was ok during Portuguese
time as we used to keep our doors and windows open and have a sound
sleep without any untoward incidents. I guess the President of MOCA was
dreaming of living in the Portuguese era. Was/Is he not reading the
daily news papers and aware of robberies taking place around Goa and
alert himself being President of MOCA ? No funds for security is a lame
excuse. The poorest in Goa knows how to raise funds to keep hunger away.
And MOCA's committee ? A BIG question. By the way, I have never read or
heard about lack of funds at MOCA for security purposes. The robbery at
MOCA is a pure neglect on the part of the responsible. Or is it like
'Maka kiteak podlam, mojem kain num tem', the trade mark attitudes of
Goans in all respects, especially in respect of our bangarachem Goa when
it is being robbed of everything by insiders and outsiders. Shame on all
involved and responsible. The great robbery took place. Why no
resignations so far on moral grounds.

The Museum of Christian Art (MOCA) has been very much in the
news over the last week and unfortunately there has been an
extent of misinformation/incorrect statements appearing in
the media. The objective of this note is to set the records
right.
