Stop disturbing Goa's communal harmony

It is really sad and shocking to see that communal harmony in Goa is getting disturbed by statements of people who act too smart. The statement on social media by Shreya Dhargalkar hurt the sentiment of Hindu people at Cuncolim where the locals blocked the highway in protest. Devi Shantadurga is  powerful and the temple is famous throughout Goa. Not only Hindus but the Catholics too visit the temple and pay respect to the Devi as historically in Cuncolim both Hindu and Christian people get together and take part in the mother's festival. The people of Cuncolim are freedom fighters and will never give up when they fight for their right. Don't understand why Shreya made such a statement? For publicity gain or something else? The Devi Shantadurga temple  committee and people are hurt. No one has a right to talk about other religions and their personal matter in their temple property. Please do not disturb the peace in the state in the name of religion. Be good human beings and love one another.
