The Archives and Archaeological department at the behest of Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has now reportedly started the process to formally identify Hindu temples & other religious structures that were destroyed in the State during the colonial Portuguese regime in Goa.It should be noted that Pramod Sawant in his Budget has declared that Rs 20 crore has been allocated for restoration of Hindu temples that were destroyed during Portuguese era. Well, it looks like Sawant wants to somehow pressurise the officials from the Archives & Archaeological department to prepare a fake list of some so-called 'demolished/destroyed Hindu temples/religious structures' specially near all the prominent Churches/Mosques in the state based on the assumptions of his own saffron trouble-maker supporters and start playing UP-type communal hate politics for his own political survival in Goa. We Goans have historically lived peacefully in communal harmony in this state for the last so many years as we have always believed in living in the present and not in the past. We would kindly request Sawant to stop distracting us and instead do something worthwhile about poverty, unemployment, corruption, inflation etc to improve our living conditions.
