He also refuted the claim made by Tiatr director Tausif de Navelim that tiatrist Rons Tavares had given him the script of his Tiatr Answer to tarnish the image of Director Francis de Tuem. Addressing the media, Conception pointed out that there s no question of modifying his controversial song following the self-regulation imposed by Tiatr Academy of Goa that songs and tiatrs should not be directed at any politician or tiatrist.“My song is not directed at any individual or tiatrist. There s nothing objectionable in the song. Hence, I will continue to sing the song,” he said.On Tausif de Navelim s claim that the scrip of Tiatr Answer was given to him by Rons Tavares, Conception said his tiatr is based on the latest issue and is not intended to attack anyone personally.He asserted that the four miscreants who assaulted him after Jenny Fernandes slapped him on stage were goons. “I am not ready to believe that they were part of the audience. When the foursome attacked me, the audience came to my rescue. Members of the audience even went after the miscreants, indicating they were really goons sent to attack me,” he added.
