Seen in the picture is a broken cross, replaced with a saffron flag at Chapora, Goa. No true Goenkar brother or sister will resort to breaking or destroying religious statues. Whether Hindu, Muslim or Christian, we all live together in peaceful Goa, attending each other’s religious functions and being there in good times and in bad.
Shame on the ones who are doing this to destroy the peace and trying to create differences and incite tensions among the Goan people, trying to divide the populace in the name of religion, with the blessings of their political leaders.
For whoever has done this, remember your judgement day will come soon. This world belongs to god and one day, we all have to leave the world, keeping everything we own behind. So live now as good human beings. Not a single religion teaches us to do wrong or to hurt others.
I request my Goan brothers and sisters of all religions to stand up together as good human beings and as good citizens of this country.
