Goa is known for communal harmony and peace where people of all faiths co-exist. Goa is an original paradise on earth where deadly virus of communal hatred has yet to make its presence felt. Why to attack St Francis Xavier “ the most revered Goencho Saib “ to seek whose blessings and witness whose miracles people throng the Bom Jesus Basilica at Old Goa from across the globe? St Francis Xavier is known to provide direction to the lost souls and cure the sick with faith in Goencho Saib’s miraculous powers. Goencho Saib belongs to every Goan who look up to St Francis Xavier for protection, guidance and relief from various problems plaguing lives.
Subhash Velingkar should have taken up some other issue like cow protection, rampant consumption of drugs and amoral activities including prostitution and gambling across casinos to revive his political career. It is a pity that in a desperate move to please his masters, Velingkar has displeased the Master of all the masters. Goencho Saib will give befitting reply. Dear St Francis Xavier, please have mercy and protect Goa from the poison of deadly communal virus. We Goans want to continue to live in peace forever.
