Praying to God to 'forgive' former State RSS chief Subhash Velingkar for his comments on St Francis Xavier, Nationalist Congress Party President Jose Phillip D'Souza on Saturday warned him against further outrageous comments against the Catholic saint.
"I pray to God to forgive him. If he makes a statement like this again, the NCP will not keep quiet. We will do something. The people of Goa will not be quiet. Such things should not be repeated," D'Souza told a press conference in Panaji.
"Subhash Velingkar made a poor statement about our saint. St Francis Xavier is our patron (saint). People of all castes worship him. People from all over the world worship him. We do not like the fact that our saint has been insulted. We condemn his statement. No one has the right to insult another's religion," the NCP leader said.
