It is said one cannot hide crime and truth and this has become amply evident after the key accused in the desecration cases, Francis Pereira, was let off by the court in almost all cases filed against him.
This is definitely a drama that was staged by some politicians to divide Goans on religious lines and to hide from the actual problems that were hurting Goa. The present scene is that Francis who was the key accused has come out with a clean chit from the courts. The big question now is, if it was not Francis, then who is the one who was behind all these incidents? The police too have failed miserably in their job in putting up a tight case against the accused.
Goans are now left to wonder if these desecration cases were the handiwork of some politician who had hired someone to do this job just to flare up communal tension in the State.
