CM should resign if he cannot protect historic sites of Old Goa

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant as expectedly is still seen displaying complete ignorance over the upcoming controversial Old Goa project despite widespread protests of Goans over the last few months in Goa.

Thousands of Goans under the banner of Save Old Goa Action Committee had participated in the 'maha morcha' near St Cajetan Church recently and had rightly demanded the immediate demolition of an illegal construction/bungalow coming up within a radius of one-km buffer zone near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Goa.
The said illegal structure is believed to be constructed by a political functionary of the ruling BJP in the protected areas of Old Goa. The one thing I know is that most BJP leaders want to systematically wipe out all traces of Portuguese culture and due to which are currently slowly seen deliberately allowing their own people to set up their illegal structures at such historic sites of Old Goa.
I therefore personally feel that if CM Dr Pramod Sawant is a true son of Goa then he should immediately revoke all permissions/licences given to the controversial owner and get the above mentioned project demolished at the very earliest or else should gracefully resign.

Obviously with political blessings it is being built in rank violation of all laws within a UNESCO world heritage precinct. Those in power and authority should be always truthful and never lie.…
