Goa Forward Party president Vijai Sardesai on Sunday urged the Goan public and opposition political parties to raise their collective voices in unity through its campaign #SaveGoaNow.
The concentrated effort from the regional party is aimed to raise nationwide and global awareness of the ongoing troubles and issues Goa, and its people continue to face. #SaveGoaNow is the Goa Forward’s unified call and effort to unite the Goan voice to “save our collective future.”
In a series of tweets, Vijai Sardesai stated that “This is our moment to #SaveGoaNow. Whether it is #SaveMollem #SaveMhadei #SaveOldGoa, our #jobs, or our #health from #COVID-19. We must #SaveGoaNow, not tomorrow.” Sardesai also assured all Goans his and the party’s support, highlighting that together the Goan people can carve a #NewLiberation.
Vijai Sardesai stated that in the upcoming 60th anniversary of Goa’s Liberation, the State is now on the brink of surrender, pointing to Chief Minister Pramod Sawant as “the undoer of Goa’s long-lasting efforts and hard work since 1961.”
Vijai highlighted that the Chief Minister is selling Goa a “Future of Surrender” and called on all Goans and opposition parties to end its time of silence. “Our call, our voice should be to #SaveGoaNow. We are not going to wait for tomorrow or wait until the elections,” he exclaimed.
Vijai Sardesai said that “All Goans in separate factions oppose the issues of coal, double-tracking, Mhadei diversion and the BJP’s infringement on our culture and heritage, yet we as people and society are not united as a singular voice. #SaveGoaNow is the people’s representation to the nation and the world, that enough is enough.”
Sardesai called the #SaveGoaNow campaign the first step forward to restore and protect Goa’s unique identity, and solve the environmental, economic and health issues Goa currently faces. Sardesai hopes that the #SaveGoaNow initiative should serve to be Goa’s public discussion amongst its youth, people and political members to openly share and discuss ideas to shape and save Goa’s future.
He added “we want the world to hear our Goan voice. We want Goemkars locally and globally to join our call to #SaveGoaNow. Together we will work to save our environment, heritage, jobs and youth to keep our people first. Let’s make our call viral to #SaveGoaNow.”
