Security at Old Goa A Worrying Sign.
Kudos and hats off to Herald Editorial, this is exactly what the Goans
all over the world are expecting from “The Voice of Goans, HERALD ”.
Such write-ups had really brought changes in Govt. policies or local
authorities like Panchayats or Municipalities etc.
The treatment meted out to Church authorities at Old Goa cannot be
digested. We the Goans are pained and shocked to hear such treatments
from Goa Govt. or other agencies. It seems that this Cong. Govt. is
seriously hand in gloves with RSS or Sangh Parrivar. Somehow or the
other they want the most loved place of Goa “Amcho Goycho Saib” area to
be spoiled or vanish. The local Panchayat had allowed a temple to be
constructed behind the Basilica so that there may be some disputes in
near future amongst the Hindus and Catholics. It is a well organised
plan to reduce the importance of the sacred place like OLD GOA.
The Kamat govt. should be held responsible for any eventuality and Goan
public should start complaining at the Congress High Command at Delhi
that this Goa govt. is supporting RSS ideology in Goa and for not acting
as a secular govt. They are listening more to the Sangh Parivaar then to
the people electing them to power.
During 2007 the Devotees and pilgrims had even charged money by the
local authorities for the parking of vehicles in the Bhakia property.
They require developing and beautifying this area for parking and other
utility services. A TOTAL BAN IN AND AROUND 500 MTS OF RADIUS HAS TO BE
IMPLEMENTEDD AT THE EARLIEST. No construction whatsoever is to be
allowed within this area. Can Herald take this lead and help lakhs of
devotees who comes there to give homage and respect for “”AMCHO GOYCHO
SAIB””.
