The Congress on Monday alleged that BJP has made Goa a laboratory for experimenting “the crushing the rights to dissent” in the secular nation.   

The Congress spokesman advocate Rohit Bras D’Sa said that manner in which the Faye D’souza was dropped from the speaker’s list is very unfortunate. D.D Kosambi lecture series which was supposed to be for exchange of ideas is now being used to promote ideas of BJP party.   

Instructions have come from Prime Minister and Home minister’s office directed to cancel Faye D’souza’s name from the list, he alleged.   

The government has sent a signal that if you not praise the Prime Minister, they will not invite you as a speaker for public event, he said. He demanded that the Government has to give explanation on the issue.   

Sighting another incident, D’sa recollected how a public meet against CAA at Mapusa was cancelled by denying permission by the local administration.
