MARGAO: Goa Forward Chief Vijai Sardesai has said the government has finally come out of its deep slumber on the issue of the repatriation of stranded seafarers, saying the protest by the wives of the seamen has finally prompted the government to draw up an action plan.
He, however, warned the government that the people will not sit quiet if any attempt is being made to intimidate those who protested outside the Chief Minister’s residence or to implicate the leaders. Those who protested outside the CM’s residence were justified in doing so, he added. “There’s nothing to welcome here, this is the first step the government ought to have taken 20 days ago to get the seafarers back,” he added.
