MANGALORE: The merger of Konkani speaking areas in to Goa will only benefit politicians and in no way help the Konkani Language was what pop star and Padma Shri winner Remo Fernandes said.
Remo spoke to media after distributing the 2nd Global Konkani Awards in Mangalore on Sunday. The 25-day-festival has been organized by Mandd Sobhann of Mangalore. "It's not a good idea at all. We don't need the merger to uplift Konkani," Remo said. "Merger will not serve any purpose. There is beauty in diversity and such festivals are needed to bring the Konkani speaking people together. If the Konkani speaking regions are merged it will lead to future conflicts and will be the birth of disunity. Politicians are fantastic in dividing people. If Konkani speaking areas are merged than politicians will finish us. What is needed is that that all Konkani speaking people across the globe should work as one for the development of the language" Remo said.
Earlier speaking as the chief guest at the award ceremony, Remo congratulated the organizers for not inviting politicians to distribute the awards. "Our politicians pretend to love Konkani and it is evident that not a single politician who speaks tall about Konkani has contributed by way of donation or sponsorship for this festival. Politicians are raping the state of Goa and Mangalore in the name of Konkani. Our politicians are spreading the Konkani language in Switzerland." (TNN)
Well said REMO.You are one of the truest of all Goans and all are very proud of you.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why Churchill wants to add Karwar to create a greater Goa , when what goes on in Goa is not under control.
Historically Churchill will never ever be known as a Great Goan.Every cause he fights for is tainted and has a long lasting ill-effects.
Being a Chief Mnister for 14 days while Goa was in transit to a new Government does not make him an elected Chief Minister...but a Caretaker.
I doubt he knows the difference... nor will his "so called" family, who assume they are educated with their purchased educational certificates.
That is why the Smuggler Chorchill Alemao and big Lips Valanka are after Karwar. Both of them are rubbish.
ReplyDeleteI would like to request Remo to compose one nice Konkani Song on this subject and make a CD and publish it. Remo very well said and we are happy that you are with us
