Fr Mousinho Ataide, President of AIKP while addressing the 33rd All India Konkani Parishad in Margao on Saturday has stated that the educational framework should not be altered due to the ongoing script debate in the state and neither the Official Language Act should be amended as according to him to accommodate this demand is currently not feasible. Well, being a Catholic priest, I just don't understand why Fr Ataide is so much hell-bent on forcing Christian community children to study Devanagari Konkani script in all the church run primary schools and still dancing with a bunch of selfish people despite of knowing the fact that Christians use Roman script in their day-to-day affairs i.e. from correspondence, while applying for jobs, while writing books, reading newspapers to using the same in all their religious/church services in Goa. If Fr Ataide has so much of love for Devanagari script then why is he not convincing the church leaders to conduct all their religious services in the Devanagari script as well in Goa?
