VASCO: Amid protests by freedom fighters and BJP for the arrival of Portuguese tallest training ship, NRP Sagres, fishermen from Khariwado-Vasco are all set to give ceremonial brass band send-off to the ship on Tuesday morning.
“The trawler owners have decided that as a mark of respect for great friendship tie between India and Portuguese, fishermen from Khariwado will give ceremonial brass band send-off to the ship,” said Goa Boat Owners Association President Simon Pereira.
Inviting the media for the event, Periera said the traditional brass band send-off is to further strength the Indo-Portugal friendship. Meanwhile, since Sunday, the visitors, who had come to see the ship, were denied entry by security personnel at Mormugao Port.
Godfrey Gonsalves, who had come along with his friends from Borda-Margao, to see the ship on Monday morning was also denied entry by Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). “We had carried our photo identity cards and other relevant documents to produce at the gate to gain entry, but despite that we were denied access,” complained Gonsalves.
While the shipping agent, Machado & Sons, Representative Milton Colaco said the entry to general public was stopped since Sunday due to security reasons. “Initially for two days, people were allowed to visit the ship. The ship will sail on Tuesday at about 10 am to Egypt,” he said. (HD)
Well done Trawler owners. At least you have kept up the diplomacy that the diplomats could not keep and your love for the Portuguese. Now let the BJP and Karmali and his gang eat Sh....t like pigs. This is even more embarassing to S S Sidhu the governor and the buffalo cowmuth.
ReplyDeleteI doubt there were any security issues, but the authorities wanted to stop Goans from proving their love for the Portuguese. Well done trawler owners you have proved true democracy. Our spineless authorities should drown themselves in shame>
ReplyDeleteI have heard that it was the most fabulous farewell to our Portuguese friend and the dolts like BJP and Karmali got sh....ted in they pants. VIVA GOA PORTUGAL, I remember this slogan was used by one Alex on herald and also on the YouTube of Menino de Valpoi it is always there. So I say again VIVA GOA PORTUGAL and Karmali and BJP go to CARNAVAL
ReplyDeleteI request Mr. Menino to come up with the farwell news and photos if you have some of it. We are eager to see the warm farewell accorded to the Portuguese by the khariawaddo people and the Goans in general.
ReplyDeleteIf Cowmuth is offered Portuguese citizenship, he will gladly refuse? May be since he won't be able to go there and fool, loot and take people for a ride.
