There is a perceptible increase in loiterers in Goa these days. Panjim is full of these loitering ghatis - on the riverwalk, at Miramar, in our public parks and gardens - and they have no fixed jobs. A few inquiries reveal that a large number of muslims are streaming into Goa, and these aren't only of Bijapur origin. They now come from Bangladesh and Assam (illegal entrants from Bangladesh). I hear that they trace a fairly standard route. They first come to Mumbai, hang around there, and then take the Konkan Railway into Goa. This calls for a serious investigation for if this trend is proven to be true, the implications for Goa are enormous. Digambar Kamat is not going to be the guy initiating any such inquiry, for he relies heavily on his muslim vote bank (some jokingly call him Paigambar Kamat).
