I think that Godinho should stop making some senseless statements about religion and talking about the so-called 'roots' of his own religion for political gains in the state. Because the one thing most 'niz-Goenkaars' know is that those who display greed for worldly pleasures/wealth, who support corruption follow no religion and cannot be regarded as Goans under no circumstances in Goa.
