Will Goa's education minister and CM Parrikar implement this saffron education policy in Goa? He should tell the minority community in particular."
Commenting on the failure of Parrikar to tackle issues of Panaji, Naik insisted that the NIO and the GSPCB should conduct a study of the River Mandovi waters.
