Francis D'Souza's sad plight


After reading in your newspaper the interview with BJP's stalwart of yesteryear, who would go to the extent of inviting more and more Catholics to vote for the BJP, without fear, it is sad to hear him say, "Some in the BJP don't like my religion." He has only himself to blame.

The story of the respected Dr Wilfred Mesquita is still fresh in our minds. Soon it will happen to Michael Lobo, Carlos Almeida, Nilesh Cabral and Alina Saldanha.
The BJP has every time come to power catapulting on the backs of gullible Catholics, starting with Francisco Sardinha who was sent on a jaunt to the land of kangaroos. Why don't they realize this sooner than later? Do Catholics suffer from Stocholm syndrome?
