MARGAO
Demanding that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant announce the Economic Revival Package of Rs 100 crore to the marginalised sector and also implement “Goemche Daiz” scheme coinciding with the 60th Liberation Day anniversary celebrations, Leader of the Opposition on Friday said the Congress party will continue to protest with the people of Goa on issues like Mhadei, coal, double-tracking and other contentious issues.
He said the Congress will not bend before the government and will continue to seek justice.
While saying that government should not have spent on extravaganza of Liberation Day function by spending crores of rupees when people of Goa are suffering, Kamat, however, said he will attend the function to respect the protocol of President of India.
He said it is unfortunate that various freedom fighters and their families were not even contacted by the government regarding the 60th Goa Liberation Day function. “It is the need of the hour to implement the “Vision Document - 2035” prepared during the 50th year of Goa Liberation by the committee headed by eminent scientist Dr Raghunath Mashelkar. It is unfortunate that the BJP government shelved the report from 2012 till date. The mission of “Atmanirbhar Bharat “ Swayampurna Goa” can be accomplished only with implementation of Goa Vision 2035 document,” claimed Digambar Kamat.
