Fernandes gave the assurance while speaking at the Opinion Poll Day function organised by Konkani Kala Kendra, Merces on Monday.

Kendra president Sebastiao Fernandes too acknowledged that it was because of Dr Jack Sequeira that the politicians are enjoying the benefits and urged that Dr Sequeira’s statue be installed in the Assembly. Kendra members Robert, Evaristo Fernandes and others were also present.
Earlier, the bust of Dr Sequeira was garlanded by MLA Fernandes to celebrate the occasion.
