Not only our democracy,  our own Goemkarponn has been murdered in broad daylight. Let's join hands as Goans united, despite all our religions, castes or communities and strongly refuse the politicians’ freebies - short term remuneration envelopes and flash their 'politricks' degrees at their faces.
