Soter in his well written below post has exposed the so called hyprocrical
leaders who preach one thing and practice another. They think Goans are
ignorant and can easily be taken for a ride. As he writes, "the people of
Goa will give a befitting reply to all these forces." These communal forces
have nothing better to do than to take up minor issues just to divert the
attention from the real serious problems facing Goa.

Subject: [Goanet] The masks begin to drop
For several years the communalists and mergerists had managed to conceal their
true faces behing secular masks. They mingled within secular initiatives and
made the right noises at the right places. For the last several months these
masks have begun to drop one by one no sooner they discovered that their
gimmicks have been exposed. It has been our persisitent accusation that the
Congress is as Communal as the BJP. The likes of Uday Bhembre, Prashant Naik,
Arvind Bhatikar have had a field day by taking unsuspecting people for a ride.
But it is not possible for these masks to remain in place specially when one is
on a public platform.
The arrival of the Sagres Ship and the Medium of Instruction were the perdect
occassions that helped expose this duplicity which lay concealed for several
years and poisoned Goan society from beneath in the name of nationalism. It is
high time that the likes of Uday Bhembre, Prashant Naik and Arvind Bhatikar
must join the BJP rather than pretend to be aloof from any mischief and calling
the BJP communal. The cunning Arvind Bhatikar thought that he could even trick
the Archbishop of Goa into parading himself at the anti-corruption rally in Goa
by citing the example of the Archbishop of Delhi. But he miserably failed.
There are other dumb mergerists and communalists who continue to hold on to the
mask by making statements through other mouth's and parade themselves on the
pavements of Panjim as upright and unbiased. Their masks have started hanging
half way.
In the days to come the people of Goa will give a befitting reply to these
forces.
