Long live secular Goa and unique Goan unity

A handful of fanatics of non-Goan right wing organizations were openly seen abusing our Goan Catholics on social media for criticising CM Pramod Sawant's recent statements on restoration of temples that were demolished during the colonial Portuguese rule. In fact, these communal elements  were even advising all the Goan Catholics to henceforth not to criticize such statements of Sawant on religion just because they claim that their ancestors were once Hindus in Goa.

I think that these individuals, instead of unnecessarily abusing our peace-loving Goan Catholics on social media (based on some imaginary fake stories of the past) should seriously advise Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to henceforth stop playing dirty UP-type communal hate politics to divide Goans on religious lines by forever digging only the unseen past and to immediately start building the temples of education, health, employment, economy, common sense, etc in the state to really improve the living standards of all the 'aam-Goans' and to permanently defend the centuries old communal harmony of Goa for good. Long live secular Goa and Goan unity. Down with BJP-Sangh Parivar's  'goondagiri' cum 'dadagiri' in Goa.
