Many friends and well-wishers who care for my wellbeing are advising me to take all extra precautions on July 29 while going for the hearing before the Excise Commissioner in connection with the illegalities pertaining to Silly Souls Café and Bar at Assagao being run by Union Minister for Women and Child Development Smriti Irani’s family. And many feel that the BJP will now send their handy tools ED, CBI & IT to my door.. Over the years I have never hesitated to take on the powerful and mighty over a wide range of issues. Nothing has intimidated me but has only made me stronger and emboldened my determination to stand up to the powers to be. We need to maintain vigilance and keep on fighting. We owe it to our Goa or else posterity may never forgive us for having silently allowed what remains of our once beautiful State to just pass away. Truth and justice must always prevail if we are to live in a fair and equitable Goa where the rights of everyone are protected without fear or favour.
