MARGAO
The Congress delegation led by GPCC Chief Amit Patkar and senior Congress MLA Digambar Kamat paid tributes to the martyrs at the historic Lohia Maidan for their sacrifice to liberate the State from colonial rule.
They, however, preferred not to use the platform to target the government, with both Patkar and Kamat restricting their address to the media to the sacrifices made by the freedom fighters to liberate Goa from the Portuguese.
While Kamat made a mention how Dr Lohia symbolises free speech and civil liberties, Patkar said people of Goa should take the inspiration of the freedom fighters.
Congress leaders, M K Sheikh, district party chief Savio D’Silva, Moreno Rebello, Everson Vales, Pradip Naik, Margao Municipal Chairperson Deepali Sawal, Avinash Shirodkar and others paid respect to Dr Ram Manohar Lohia.
