Press Statement in support of Rama Kankonkar and Arturo D’Souza

The undersigned organisations and individuals strongly condemns attempts of the State Government in collusion with vested interests to tag Rama Kankonkar and Arturo D’Souza - well known for their activities in defence of ecology and environment – based on letter inward at Agassaim Police Station. This fact came to light when few days ago Rama Kankonkar was called at the Agassaim Police Station after serving call letter. It is fundamental duty of every citizen of India to protect environment under Article 51-A(g) of the Constitution of India. However over the past few years Rama Kankonkar as well as Arturo D’Souza has been harassed and subjected to private violence making mockery of the law and order situation in Goa while engaged in task of environment protection especially with regard inclusion of PDAs to urbanise, protection of Chimbel lake from proposed IT park and movement to protect Bondvol lake at Santa Cruz village and get it recognise as Wetland. 

Both Arturo and Rama are also outspoken about the illegal fishing in Zuari River by use of trawl nets and purse seine nets and offered their support to traditional fishing community using Gill nets. Currently Rama and Arturo are contributing immensely towards study of Coastal Management Plan (CZM) that is to come up for Public Hearing on July 07, 2019, and creating awareness in different parts of Goa specially Tiswadi. Rama Kankonkar is also courageous to expose CRZ violations carried on the banks of Cumbharjua River by brother of Goa’s Revenue Minister Rohan Khaunte.

The undersigned organisations and individuals strongly condemn today afternoon’s act of violence on Rama Kankonkar’s private car parked at his residence in Curca suffering damage. This act of violence is carried on in order to instill fear and silence vibrant voice of Rama Kankonkar. This latest attack not only reflects growing frustration of the vested corporate interests out to destroy environment of Tiswadi Taluka but also collapse of the Law and Order machinery in the State of Goa. Goa’s Home Minister must resign immediately as he has failed to provide adequate security to Rama Kankonkar.

We pledge our support to Rama Kankonkar who is also the office bearer of GAKUVED and Arturo D’Souza till Justice is done, violence stops, Environment protected, ecology restored and urbanising trends reversed.

Second attack on Sonshi mining protester




Bharat Mukti Morcha, Goa Unit condemns second attack on Surendra Sablo Gawde early morning today July 17, 2018 in Sonshi, Sattari, Goa while on his way back home after night duty at work. He is leading protest against mining industry and has filed several petitions in Courts in Goa. Two men wearing black dresses with masks and with knives attacked him on Sonshi internal road. He managed to escape without sustaining any injury leaving his bike on the spot.

Surendra Gawade and GAKUVED Federation had filed complaint on 12.07.2018 at the Valpoi police station, office of the SP and before the ST Commission about the threat call and first attack.

Surendra Gawade and the mining affected villagers had filed petitions in the High Court, Goa Human Rights Commission and Goa ST Commission against the mining companies earlier this year for various violations by the mining companies.

No action by the Goa police or concern authorities till date. No FIR has been registered so far. It appears that all authorities are hand in gloves to intimidate Surendra Gawade and the tribal villagers of Sonshi. This incident proves collapse of constitutional machinery in Goa and rule of Manusmriti enforced deliberately for bamon supremacy and capitalism aggression.     


The very fact that in spite of nearly 2,000 personnel with Goa police Surendra is attacked by armed goons is clear sign that the command structure of goons has positive nexus with local MLA as well the Home Minister. It is totally unthinkable that when Goa has such good police system open attacks are launched against citizens. It looks as if Goa government is driving State of Goa towards civil war.

Attack on Surendra is the latest in the series of attacks witnessed recently like that on Nilesh Gaonkar and Ravindra Velip of Cavrem, Rama Kankonkar and Arturo D'Souza of Tiswadi. Lessons of history teach us that for the survival of Bamon Raj violence is actively engaged as strategy. 

Goa's home ministry even inducted special secretary who is an IAS officer Anjali Sherawat and several IPS officers and yet law and order is allowed to breach to benefit mining industry by violating Right to Life and creating fear in Society. People of Goa will be left with no option but to set Manusmriti ablaze in every vaddo of every village and city of Goa.

Jai Mulnivasi!

Acid attack on mining opponent in Honda, Sattari

Bharat Mukti Morcha, Goa Unit condemns acid attack and threats to Sonshi mining protestor. Surendra Shablo Gawde from Sonshi, Sattari, Goa leads protest against open cast iron ore mining industry that compose of Vedanta, Sesa Goa, Quenim, Salgaocars amongst others.  Surendra is currently facing intimidation and threats from unknown culprits.  On June 30, 2018 unknown Hindi speaking man dashed against Surendra on the main road in Honda, Sattari, Goa; put something in his hand on Surendra's back shoulder and then quickly apologized and went away. Surendra proceeded home and found himself uneasy at shoulder back. He asked his mother to check his back and mother found bubbles underneath his skin. Not suspecting anything serious Surendra began treating wounds with home remedies but wound was slow to heal.

Then after four days on July 04, 2018 Surendra got an internet call on his mobile without any number. Caller identified himself as the same person who has dashed against him at Honda road and thrown acid on his back. Caller did not disclose his name and address but demanded that he withdraws all the cases against mining companies filed by him in various legal authorities.
  
After this Surendra informed his collaborators and villagers, and filed complaint at Valpoi Police Station where Shivram Vaingankar is currently Police Inspector. Police did not register FIR. On July 13, 2018 Surendra was called to the Police Station and taken for medical check up at Valpoi Health Centre, Valpoi. Doctor-on-duty after examining Surendra told him that he had wasted his half an hour and henceforth not to oppose mining industry in Sonshi. Identity of this doctor needs to be traced for giving such nasty advice. Police has to investigate whether local MLA Viswajit Rane is involved in pressurizing the doctor to communicate this message to all the mining protesters in Goa.  
  
Question arises as to whether this type of attack was on any bamon or Chief Minister or Ministers or Governor or IAS officer or IPS officer or IFS officer would police be as lazy as in this case of Surendra Sablo Gawde? Or are police under order from Home Ministry to act lazy so that extra-legal agents prowling around could intimidate protesters against mining?

Bharat Mukti Morcha express total support and solidarity with Surendra Sablo Gawde and his organization - GAKUVED. Bharat Mukti Morcha calls for investigations from Cyber crime cell in order to detect identity of the culprit and enforce arrest. If Goa's Home Minister wants he can easily find identity of the culprit and master mind behind this. The problem is that Home Minister of Goa is also the Mining minister. 
   
Discuss this message with at least five people in your contact. Then form local action group wherever you are to follow up on the matter. Together lets march towards Justice, together let’s build up Peace. Let’s together destroy dominating powers against humanity and against ecology. 

Jai Mulnivasi!

Traditional Fishermen under attack in Zuari, nets torn by marauding mini per seine boats

In a fresh incident of illegal fishing through mini per seine Zuari today morning around 60 mini- per seine boats not only carried on illegal fishing in Zuari but also torn off fishing nets of fishermen from Cacra coast. Fisheries department has issued standing instruction against mini- per seining fishing within 5 km from the shore and banned from fishing in Zuari river. Click here for the document.

Sanjay Pereira's fishing nets were torn apart today morning. Fisheries department even though is aware of the habitual illegalities in Zuari sent their Patrol boat only at 11.00 am to the venue of illegalities when all the boats had gone away. It is not clear but certainly a matter of easy guess as to why Fisheries department is not ready to crack down on this illegal fishing.

Bharat Mukti Morcha condemns fresh violence in Zuari river and calls upon Department of Fisheries to station its patrol boat permanently in Zuari river so as to avoid these kinds of confrontations.

Subject:  Race war against traditional Siridao, Bambolim, Nauxim, Cacra and Odxel fishermen in Zuari river by Hotel Grand Hyatt through water sports, Trawlers and Mini Purse seining

Sir/Madam,

1.   As you may be already aware that through water sports including speed boats Hotel grand Hyatt has waged a war against the traditional fishermen fishing in Zuari river on the coast of Siridao, Bambolim, Nauxim, Cacra and Odxel villages. The chronology of the warfare politics played out over the past one year by Hotel Grand Hyatt is as follows:


Ø November 2013 Bambolim based Hotel Grand Hyatt allows its premises for water Sports Company named Aqua Sail. Water sports boats found sailing in the waters of Zuari river.
Ø On 21st November 2013 fishermen petitioned against water sports to Captain of Ports, Director of Fisheries, and concerned Panchayats of Zuari river coast from where affected traditional fishermen hail from.

Ø On 26th November 2013 fishermen complaint against this water sports activities harming fishing activities. These fishermen are traditional fishermen using canoes for fishing purpose in Zuari River.
Ø On 26th November 2013 No Objection Certificate (NOC) which was granted for water sports activities got revoked by fisheries department due to public pressure from fishermen.
Ø 10th December 2013 fishermen wrote detailed complaint to Goa Fisheries Minister objecting to the water sports activities in Zuari river at Bambolim – Nauxi-Siridao-Cacra-Odxel coast which is signed by 291 fishermen.
Ø 15th April 2014 NOC granted for water sports by Fisheries department.
Ø 19th April 2014 Water sports company files police complaint against fishermen of Bambolim in Agassain Police station. Police Inspector Devendra Gad visits Bambolim beach and confronts fishermen and slaps one fisherman Vishnu Kankonkar at 6 pm. Fishermen called to the police station. Matter is ‘compromised’ as Company withdraws complaint.
Ø 25th April 2014 - 20 water sports boats found obstructing traditional fishermen in Zuari River.
Ø 26th April 2014 traditional fishermen launched fresh investigation as to who issued permission to the water sports boats after their NOC being revoked on 26th November 2014.
Ø 02nd May 2014 then Fisheries Minister Avertano Furtado visited Bambolim Beach at 12.30 pm without prior intimation to fishermen. Around 50-60 fishermen voiced their grievances about water sports.
Ø 09th May 2014 second letter of protest sent to Goa's Minister of Fisheries calling for immediate cancellation of No Objection Certificate (NOC) issued for speed boats to carry on water sports activities signed by 132 affected fishermen.
Ø From 19th October 2014 water sports boats again found obstructing traditional fishermen in Zuari River this continues till date.
Ø On 11th November 2014 officials of Hotel Grand Hyatt contacted Raghuvir Kankonkar and offered to bribe him. Raghuvir Kankonkar is a father of Vishnu Kankonkar who was slapped by PI Devendra Gad on 19th April 2014. Raghuvir refused bribe citing that he is not interested in compromise and he wants river protected for fishermen and their future generations.

Subversion of ministry roles

It is evident from the above chronology that there has been subversion of roles of the fisheries ministry. Fisheries ministry that is supposed to protect the interest of fishermen has been made to sacrifice interest of fishermen and promote interest of the luxury tourism lobby. This is indeed very serious development that needs sufficient analytical attention. How can Fisheries ministry of Goa government destroy interest of fishermen? How can it in the first place grant NOC for water sports? After the protest letter from the fishermen NOC for water sports were revoked. And after four months and twenty days it was granted again. That means the power of the protest from the affected fishermen expired after this period and fresh protests had to be launched. Discussion held by the leaders of the movement with the Director of fisheries revealed that there has been application of political pressure to over ride the interest of the traditional fishermen who are largely STs and OBCs. Bulldozing of the interest of the traditional fishermen in Zuari river is in fact bulldozing of interests of STs and OBCs. This also means coming face-to-face with reality that Ministry of Fisheries has been working against the interest of ST and OBC in this matter on the banks of Zuari River. This form of racial discrimination practiced by Goa Government and Hotel Grand Hyatt needs open public acknowledgement and then mitigation. Failing on this part could snow ball into intensified tensions.

You are therefore advised to take immediate measures of cancelling permissions granted for water sports and speed boats and stop Hotel Grand Hyatt from operating their water sports boats and stop war against traditional fishermen.

2.   Trawling inside the Zuari River is causing great harm to the fisheries. Trawling inside rivers is banned by law and you are advised to implement the ban and stop this practice so deeply dangerous to sustenance of fishing by traditional fishermen. Trawling is allowed only 5 kms away from the beach inside Arabian Sea.
3.   We also noted that there is completely unsustainable fishing practice known as mini Purse seining currently in vogue in Zuari river. This is carried on by fishing vessels that are technologically equipped with under water cameras. The mini Purse seining fishing has already caused body blow to sustainable fisheries as the species of fish is destroyed completely with this mode of fishing. This commands immediate attention and action. You are advised to stop this on priority.

We want to let you know that Whites while taking control of America from the Red Indians resorted to mass hunting of the animals that Red Indians used to consume for living. Chief Seattle’s speech is rich in these expressions. It was a racist strategy by which Whites invaded American indigenous people. We are indigenous people of India and same racist warfare strategy has been deployed to destroy us by disrupting our traditional fishing in Zuari River through the above three points namely Water sports, trawling and Mini Purse seining.

Awaiting your positive response for the cause of humanity, ecology and sustainable fisheries,

Thanking you in anticipation.

Yours sincerely,

In defense of Fr.Pratap Naik, Romi Konkni and Marathi: Goa alliance towards mulnivasi liberation


Raju Nayak, the editor of Lokmat - Goa Edition, Goa edition wrote long and highly controversial article involving Fr.Pratap Naik s.j, Romi Konkni protagonist labeling him as ‘terrorist’ in an attempt to tarnish his contribution to the movement of mulnivasi people of Goa and to trigger off regionalism and casteism. The article was published in Marathi in Lokmat on 27th October 2013 with title “Adharmakaran”. The article is fine blend of truth, lies and prejudices that seeks to absolve Bamons of Goa from their nefarious acts. Here are some selected extracts from the article accompanied with critical comments from Sebastian Rodrigues. Comments are indicated in colored text.

The above picture shows Fr.Pratap Naik s.j addressing 5th BAMCEF Goa State Convention in Panjim held on 27th October 2013. Also seen on the dais is Hon.D.R.Ohol, National Campaigner of BAMCEF, Janardhan Tamakar, Ramnath Naik, Milan Nare and Mohammad Salim all of whom also spoke on the day. Several others also spoke exposing the bamani system operating in Goa and in India.

1.       Because of religion country is partitioned. This is false. Country was split so that Bamons can have control. Gandhi functioned as stooge of Brahmins even though he was baniya (Vyashya). He was shot dead by Brahmin so that Banias (Vyashyas) will not pose competition for power.

2.       In Goa’s cultural field church has caused havoc provoking split in society. The Church is attacked here because Fr.Pratap Naik spoke the truth and exposed the Bamani conspiracy behind suppressing Romi Konkani. This is an attempt to divert attention and cover up Bamons’ disgraceful role. In any case in this very article Raju Nayak, a bamon himself, has admitted that Church in Goa is controlled by Bamons.

3.       Church does not want to transform Goa into modern, progressive society. It wants to build society on sole self interest, and self-minded ideals. Ideals of modernity does not come from one true living God and prayer to which church is dedicated to. The word ‘progressive’ is widely used to camouflage assaults from evil and persecute the Church as it was the case in various part of the world – French Revolution, Mexican Revolution, Russian Revolution. 

4.       This policy is followed in order to keep itself away from Hindus. The word ‘Hindu’ is from Persian dictionary that has three meanings – black, thief and slave. It was used by mughals who ruled India for 700 years with arrangement of power sharing with Brahmins who are also Euressian invaders in India as per Tilak and Nehru. Church has a message of freedom and it will not admit slavery until the enslavement is ended.

5.       This same policy is embarked from Portuguese colonial days when Christianity was State religion. There is no guilt in following this policy.

6.       After messing up with medium of instruction now they want to mess up language issue in Goa. Medium of instruction is a conspiracy created by Bamons so that the intellectual progress of our students in schools remains in the state of contended ignorance for the bamons to prolong their illegitimate rule little longer. The cracks are visible and it is only a matter of time that its edifice collapses. No Bamon would like to admit that they are manipulating language issue on non-stop basis. This is their conspiracy as a part of package of conspiracies in education like doing away with exams till std VIII. The conspiracy is national in nature. Bamons cause these problems from behind the curtain. Fr.Pratap Naik has uncovered the curtain.

7.       The real object is not language but to split society. This is desperate attempt to cover up Bamon raj that Fr.Pratap boldy exposed. No society is getting split, only Bamons and their nefarious role are getting exposed in the process and it is inevitable.

8.       Fr.Pratap Naik has become icon of Konkani. So let him. All power and strength to him!

9.       From the stage he delivers extremely casteist speeches triggering mind boggling conspiracies. His speeches are directed only to unravel the truth that Bamons have conspired to suppress mulnivasi people by concocting devnagri Konkani and imposing it by means of deceit.

10.   Chief aim of Fr.Pratap Naik is to create split in society. Whenever Bamon raj is in danger bamons shout from the roof top that society is in danger or nation is in danger or religion is danger. Raju Nayak provides excellent evidence of this in this article.

11.   In the language issue he is poisoning society. He is not poisoning society he is creating awareness about the oppression of Bamon Raj and exercising his call to do away with it. He needs to be supported by one and all. Bharat Mukti Morcha congratulates him for this.

12.   They before yesterday while speaking against devnagri Konkani he spoke against Saraswat samaj. This is very good. Hats off to Fr.Pratap Naik!

13.   He knows that Saraswats will not retaliate against him. Saraswats retaliated against him through Sunaprat articles where Raju Nayak himself was an editor. This article itself is retaliation from Saraswat.

14.   Instead of Hindu Saraswat he wants to dominate Christian bamons. There is no difference between the two, besides as per directions of Shenoy Goembab allias Valalkar Varde Hindu bamons and Christian bamons has to merge together and rule Goa. His book ‘Kahi Marathi Lekh’ written and and published in Bombai in 1945 is even dedicated to the younger generations of Bamons. He is completely casteist and his birth centrunary was sought to be celebrated by Manohar Parrikar in his earlier stint as Chief Minister.

15.   This is because bamons dominate church in Goa. This honest admission from Raju Nayak. Goa’s Archbishop Felipe Neri Ferrao is a Bamon and he sold Vanxim to another Bamon Mahendra Gaunkar without taking people Vanxim into confidence. He also seeking to evict mulnviasi Priest Fr.Saluzinho Vaz from Infant Jesus Chapel, Murida, Cuncolim by police force under the control of another Bamon Manohar Parrikar, the home minister of Goa. So here we go: Bamon dominate Church as well as State in Goa. This is so disgusting.

16.   This domination of bamons is crystal clear and visible in the process of appointment of Bishop. No dispute on this either. The current Archbishop Ferrao is a live example.

17.   It is the Bamon policies that are implemented through Church objectives/policies. This is so true too!

18.   During past few years there is an attempt to break this Bamon hegemony over church in Goa. It would be nice if Raju Nayak was more explicit on this. But surely there are signs of revolt against bamon Raj inside the Church and increasing awareness.

19.   This casteism has become intensive during the past 20 years and some firebrand priests using their talents and organizing capability are trying to defeat the Church objectives. The word ‘casteism’ is not correct to use here. It is the freedom movement from Bamany tyranny that worships satan in subtle forms. The priests who involved in this battle deserves to be supported although they are no named in this article.

20.   These priests then get involved in politics. Contesting elections is banned for priests by Cannon Law that governs the church. True, some priests do get involved in open campaigning during elections. This is to be discouraged.

21.   There is debate now that Bishop has no control over Priests in Goa. Let the debate go on.

22.   These days it has become common phenomena for parishioners to accuse priests of financial irregularities, lobbying to keep control of important churches, direst participation of in elections, unnecessary interference in village unwanted matters, and allegations of sexual harassment. This is indeed true. In some cases there is basis for protests of the parishioners like in Sanvordem case where lottery scam of Rs.30 lakh is committed and Archbishop is involved in covering up the truth. Satan has cords of control over Goa Archbishop and it is evident from the way things unfolded in Sanvordem.

23.   Priests have to take the vows of obedience but they live in luxury. Lifestyles of some priests will leave even Jesus Christ sucking his figures. There is truth in luxurious lifestyle of the priests but why Raju Nayak excludes Archbishop and his lifestyle? Is it because he is also Bamon like Raju Nayak? Diocesan priests does not have vow of obedience and they are free to chart out their initiatives even against will of the Archbishop. Jesus Christ is all forgiving God and never sucks his figures instead he suffers on Calvary and willingly got crucified on Cross. 

24.   Fr.Naik has become desperate and hopeless and playing around his own life. This is a character assassination of Fr. Naik who is a mulnivasi priest from a Bamon writer Raju Nayak. Rightly the effigy of Raju nayak was burned in protests in Valpoi and police cases registered in Ponda and Verem police stations.

25.   He is not Goan. True. Dr.Ambedkar, Jyotibha Phule, Shahu Maharaj also were not Goan.
26.   He is not even from Mangalore. May be. Dr.Ambedkar, Jyotibha Phule, Shahu Maharaj also were not from Mangalore.

27.   Pundalik Naik even said that Fr.Pratap Naik’s mother tongue is not konkni. Pundalik Naik’s morality is reflected from the dedication of his novel ‘Bamber’. It is not surprising that Pundlik Naik has been brought into the discussion about Fr.Pratap Naik. The two are poles apart. Fr.Pratap Naik is exposing Bamon Raj while Pundalik Naik is inside the camp of Bamons. He will obviously cast stones at Fr.Pratap Naik as this priest has refused to admit tentacles of bamani slavery dished out through devnagri Konkni.

28.   Fr.Pratap Naik has doctorate in Linguistic. That’s very nice.

29.   He was given charge of St. Stephen Kendra. That time he accepted Devnagri Konkani. This is true.

30.   Then he changed to such an extend as to call devnagri Konkni  a dialect and not language. This is also true.

31.   When he is calling himself linguist how can he change? The linguists who are honest to themselves change when they see new light on the surface. And there is plenty of light surrounding Fr.Pratap Naik and it is reflected around him even in the cartoon intended to demonize him with thorns and tail and with Trishul in his hand. Light cannot be hidden. It shines even in the all pervasive darkness of bamon raj.

32.   After finishing his doctorate he expected to be facilitated widely in Konkani world. This did not happen. That’s why his ego is hurt. Political phenomena of Bamani oppression is sought to be reduced to personal petty issue. This is typical way of slandering that Raju Nayak and his saraswat colleagues are so good at them. Full marks here!

33.   That’s why he turned venomous. It is duty of every human being to revolt against oppressive situation and Fr.Pratap is doing exactly this. What is venom for Bamons in Goa is honey for mulnivasis in Goa.

34.   In 2005 he resigned from membership of Konkani Academy citing that Academy is causing injustice to Romi Konkani. That’s very good. Congratulations to Fr.Pratap!

35.   Once he accused Archbishop on his face at public function that he has done nothing for Romi Konkani. Bishop was shocked. Archbishop called him and fired him well. If this is indeed true then Fr.Pratp deserves all the praises. Archbishop is doing too many wrong things and very few priests can stand up and tell him that on his face. This proves that Fr.Pratap Naik is brave and upright priest of God.

36.   He fell from the eyes of the Church and then went aside and took side of Romi Konkani. This is not true. He might have fallen from the eyes of the Archbishop because of his forthright attitude. Goa Archbishop does not like such people and nor does Raju Nayk loves them! The Archbishop’s house itself is in the control of the fallen angel – the Lucifer and the fruits of the work of the Archbishop are self evident – sale of Vanxim, Repression of Fr.Saluzinho Vaz, cover up in Sanvordem lottery scam, etc. The light around him led Fr.Pratap to side of Romi Konkani and not any other reason.

37.   He thought that his self-intent will be fulfilled through this switching of sides. Which self-intent? Is it to expose bamon Raj? If yes, then it is very good.

38.   He incited Christian brethren and changed their minds. This is so pleasing. But the is a man who changed Fr.Pratap Naik’s view and that man is Ramnath Naik who is an encyclopedia of bamani conspiracy behind language controversy in Goa. Ramnath delivered lecture on this at Xaviers Centre for Historical Research, Porvorim half a decade ago.

39.   In political arena he wants to generate agitations that will surpass Konkani agitation with regard to unleashing of violence. This is how bamons react, creating fear of violence amongst public. Yet they will never criticize Gandhi for creating largest scale violence with a one call of ‘do or die’ on 9th August 1942. They never admit that independence is won on the violence unleashed by Gandhi and to cover up they go on propagating Gandhi was non-violent. Now they are forecasting that Fr.Pratap will generate violent waves of protests (against Bamons?).

40.   In 1987 Konkani agitation went away from the hands of devnagri leaders into the hands of religious tensions. No one can deny this. Violence was deliberately resorted to so that bamons and their leader Uday Bhembre can cunningly impose devnagri Konkni as official language of Goa.

41.   Fr.Pratap has erected pillar of venom when large number of Christian students studying devnagri kaonkani. No. Fr.Pratap has not spilled venom. He has spoken the truth. The truth hurts and Bamons perceive it as venom!

42.   In 2008 Fr.Naik made explosive speech for cultural conference and after that Tiatr Academy got set up and Dalgado academy was poured with funds but Fr.Pratap was not satisfied. Very good! Fr.Pratap has been credit with setting up of Tiatr Academy and pouring funds to Delgado Academy! Well done Fr.Pratap! this speech is labeled as explosive by Raju Nayak as bamons approach towards bulldozing devnagri konkni over State of Goa is that of terrorist (Akondvadi). The tag of ‘terrorist’ that Fr.Pratap Naik gave to Bamons is sought to be returned back to Fr.Pratap through this article of Raju Nayak.

43.   Fr.Pratap went on making explosive speeches and that’s why Catholics went way from him. That’s very good. Even Jesus whom Fr.Pratap serves was also deserted by every one of his follower and was left to be crucified and die alone. Even heavenly Father abandoned him to die. And yet through his death he scored a stunning victory over the army of the forces of darkness with sensational resurrection. It is therefore no big deal if Fr.Pratap are left with no Catholics around him. They will come when time is ripe. That should not be worry to Bamons of Goa.

44.   Amongst Roman Catholics now there is difference (bhed) with Fr.Pratap. It is not a big deal to have differences. Jesus himself came to set the earth on fire. He came to set one against another. Truth will always go against falsities. The two will not reconcile. The differences are inevitable. The existence of differences does not necessarily thwart the onward march of the movement of Romi Konkani-Marathi together.

45.   When he realized that he cannot work with Roman Konkni protagonists he collaborated with Marathi protagonists! This is not the realization. The true realization is that when it dawned to Ramnath Naik that Marathi and Romi Konkani has common enemies and they are Bomons of Goa. Ramnath Naik is the one who brought about awareness to Catholics in Goa as to how bamons have conspired to suppress Romi Konkani as well as Marathi. Raju Nayak has no courage to write against Ramnath Naik. Instead in order to end this collaboration Raju Naik has published this type of nasty breakfast.

46.   Last week on stage for press conference there was not a single Roman Konkani protagonist with him because they are not terrorists to the degree of Fr.Pratap. Calling Raman Konkani protagonists terrorist and Fr.Pratap a terrorist of higher degree only reflects the frustration and desperation of bamons in Goa. Bharat Mukti Morcha condemns Raju Nayak for tagging Roman Konkani Protogonists as ‘terrorists’.

47.   Tomazinho cannot say that devnagri is conspiracy created by Saraswats. He cannot even take stand that along with Roman Konkani Marathi also must be made Goa’s State language. True for now. But ones he sees the light of truth and gathers courage to stand up for it Tomazinho will say that devangri is a conspiracy created by Saraswats and will also stand to make Raman Konkani along with Marathi state languages of Goa and repeal devangri. And even if Tomazinho Cardozo does not realize his folly of remaining attached to bamon raj as their lackey the objective truth will continue to surface irrespective of some getting bitter about it. Act of omissions of Tomazinho Cardozo will not prevent the march of Romi konkni and Marathi towards intellectual vibrancy and mulnivasi freedom.

48.   Roman Konkani protagonists know that even as hypothesis if they take stand to side Marathi then Christian society will not forgive them. Bamons are so confident that the division that that they created during opinion poll will last forever.

49.   Fr.Pratap can speak alone in press conference but if he goes ahead and calls joint meeting of supporters of Romi Konkani and Marathi no none will come. Time will prove. No reason for bamons to worry.

50.   According to an intellectual it is common understanding now that devnagri konkni has done injustice to Roman Konkani. Roman Konkani protagonists has lost the war long time ago; they should chart out their way independently not by going along with Marathi. Opinion of an unnamed intellectual need not be the imposed on readers. This intellectual has no courage to come out openly with his name. Most probably there is no such intellectual anywhere other than in the figment of imagination of Raju Nayak.

51.   Christian intellectual admit that the reason for failure of Romi Konkni movement is absence of intellectual leadership. But Fr.Pratap cannot lead as he is not Goan and he does not even have reputation that he is a leader of great capability. In addition he has not even sweated out in konkni agitation. After Konkani was declared State language he came to Goa. The Christian intellectual who cannot even disclose his name cannot be taken seriously. Raju Nayak is indulging in cock and bull stories for the reasons best known to him. When bamon writes and speaks  he has only one intention supremacy of Brahmanism and Raju Nayak is no different.

52.   That’s why he cannot claim that “I represent Christian People”. His claims are laughable. Not sure is who is to be laughed at whether Fr.Pratap to be laughed at or Raju Nayak for basing his case on anonymous intellectuals. Not even sure as to what is the color of his journalism, yellow or some other colour.

53.   While speaking about Konkani and its rights he speaks in English. True. What’s wrong? In which language struggle for devnagri was fought? Marathi!

54.   Did Catholics in Goa ever learn Konkani? After victory of Konkani, Chiristian intellectuals and litterateurs neglected Romi Konkani. This is the truth. Manusmriti permits Bamons to present falsity as truth. We got to take Raju Nayak’s writing with a pinch of salt.

55.   These upper caste Brahmins even ignored Tiatrs as of low status. This is true.

56.   People going for Tiatr are dwindling today. Today’s generation is strength as well as weakness of Tiatrs. Perhaps Raju Nayak has statistics on this. Raju Nayak is worried about strengths or weaknesses?

57.   Even in devnagri Proffesional journalists, Publishers, Dramatists and Litterateurs are not getting formed, and this is regrettable. If this is the case then it should revoked as official language immediately.

58.   Marathi literature world is in despair today. Oh really?

59.   Marathi newspapers are sold in Goa today but where is market for books? Drama ‘nataks’ are stopped! Who mastered launched vicious campaigns against nataks in 1970s? The role of Bamons in stopping Marathi nataks in Goa is well documented in books of Ramnath Naik.

60.   Unfortunately Devnagri, Roman and Marathi’s progress is throttled by historic differences and hatred. No. It is through suppression of Raman Konkani and Marathi, and imposition of devangri with deceit the progress of mulnivasis in Goa is throttled.

61.   And to increase this differences and hatred non-goans like Fr.Pratap Naik dedicated. They came as priests and undertake irreligious conspiracies. They are not bothered at all about Goa. Tomorrow they will leave Goa but leave their venom of irreligion. This clear bamani conspiracy to promote regionalism – a fight between Goans and non-Goans- so that Fr.Pratap Naik will get isolated from movement in Goa. But Bamons are not the alfa and omega of Goa. Their conspiracies are so visible now. Fr.Pratap Naik in collaboration with another mulnivasi Ramnath Naik has collaborated to bring about tremendous awareness amongst people of Goa. We are no bothered whether you are from Goa or Mangalore or from Kashmir. The light that you have focused on Goa will serve as a beacon for a discerning mind. Let the Bamons keep their malice and hatred to themselves and not mess around with affairs of mulnivasis any longer. Its time to say enough is enough. The all round loot and plunder deceit and cheating which leveled mulnivasis for many generations are legendary. All this Bamons did only because they are Eurasian invaders and they wanted to rule over mulnivasis in india. Language is one area in which they carried on their devilish policy and propaganda. Bamon Raj stops now.  Jai Mulnivasi!
