Statue breaking is a dirty political game

When the issue of Rama is being discussed in Goa, a tactic has begun to divert people’s minds by stealing religious statues. This started at São João de Areal. The old political game of divide and rule is being played once again to create tension between communities. In Goa, politicians send groups to damage religious statues. Later, the same politicians visit the site, promise to rebuild the statue, and use the situation for vote bank politics. This is a mind game played in the name of religion.

Every time elections come near, such games are played to divert attention from the real issues. But you cannot fool the people of Goa all the time.
