GRA’S CLARION CALL by Freddy Agnelo Fernandes, Dubai

GRA, has come up with a cause to fight corruption and are organizing a meet on 15th March at Panjim. We do need a mass movement to force the corrupt Kamat government to their knees, a mass movement that can gather the much needed momentum, to go for the kill at the coming Assembly elections.
A lot of people are disappointed as it’s on a weekday, being a weekday people are not at liberty as such unfortunately a lot of people will not be able to participate even though they would love to do so. There are the school and college students who have to tend to their schools and colleges and parents too are held up with their kids and working people. If we are planning a movement of this dimension then every individual’s participation is of utmost importance, I am not trying to discourage GRA’s efforts but history speaks for it’s self. The GBA meeting last October is a good example, of people’s response on a weekday, people concerned should have learnt from that mistake.
If we want to bring the people together for a mass movement then it should be at the people’s convenience and that happens only on holidays. A lot of people say that the love for Goa should be our prime objective, agreed, but knowing our own weaknesses and limitations, we should make sure that everyone has the opportunity to take part in this mass movement, without any excuses.
Even then I pray to every Goan to heed to the clarion call made by the GRA and take part in this movement on 15th March and force the Government of tugs and crooks to their knees, it could be the last chance for Goans from all walks of life to make an effort to save Goa from the clutches of our corrupt politicians.
Goa Jai Ho.

    It is a good idea if they are serious which I doubt seems to me a publicity stunt why on a weekday and not on a weekend or a holiday who are they afraid of if ever
