Leading the Congress delegation to the SP, South to lodge a complaint against Gautam Khattar, the MLA alleged that the minority community is being unfairly targeted, attributing the situation to inaction by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government. He pointed to a previous incident involving derogatory remarks against St Francis Xavier, claiming that delayed action had emboldened others.
Referring to recent controversial statements by Gautam Khattar, D’Costa warned of a pattern in which individuals continue to make inflammatory remarks without fear of consequences. “Are Christians not Goans and citizens of this country? Why are their sentiments being hurt repeatedly?” he asked.
