Bharat Mukti Morcha condemns violent attack on Kashinath Shetye

Bharat Mukti Morcha strongly condemns violent attack on Kashinath Shetye at Meces, Goa today 08 May 2026 evening. According to available information Shetye was inspecting site on the outskirts of Panjim under High Court direction. While inspection was going on one man who is responsible for cutting down of large scale mangroves and landfills of Salt pans charged at Mr. Shetye with Chopper in his hand. He was stopped by onlooker Domnic Pereira who stood in defence of Mr. Shetye. Attacker then dropped off the chopper and picked up the stone, charged at Mr. Shetye catching his shirt collar and hitting the stone repeatedly on back on his left shoulder.

Bharat Mukti Morcha holds Goa's Home Ministry responsible for the collapse of law and order situation in Goa under political patronage. Shetye declared in TV interview that in case of any such attack in future he will use weapons to defend himself. This is significant moment when State security agencies have lost trust of common man.

Attacker was infuriated due to High Court order against his illegal activities under full political patronage. 

Bharat Mukti Morcha stands by Mr. Kashinath Shetye and calls upon Goa Police to initiate strict against the butcher of mangroves responsible for attack on Mr. Shetye.

Bharat Mukti Morcha also express gratitude to Mr. Domnic Pereira for defending Kashinath Shetye from the Merces attacker.
