President of United Goans Democratic Party, Dr Jorson Fernandes, has said the calculated use of unlawful violence, threat to inculcate fear intended to coerce, intimidate communities or candidates in pursuit of goals that are political or ideological as has been brazenly displayed by the BJP elements in Chicalim recently are a blot on democracy and need to be condemned.
Condemning the audacity of some persons to threaten the unopposed elected candidate and the rude and unruly behaviour while talking to the family and Fr Bolmax, Dr Jorson stressed that these acts amount to terrorism and verbal assault. “This act was criminal as it endangered a person’s life and at the same time it advanced a particular political and ideological cause.”
“Such acts seriously disturb peace and peace-loving Goans and de-stabilise or destroy the fundamental political and social structures of our democratic country,” he said.
