When one thinks Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant cannot get any lower, he proves us wrong with the recent statements where he tried to draw similar comparisons between Subhash Velingkar and Fr Bolmax. The court reply in Subhash Velingkar anticipatory bail brought to rest that no parallels should be drawn between the 2 cases and Fr Bolmax statements included that Shivaji was a national hero and we need to honour and respect Shivaji; and his statements did not insult or attempt to insult any religion. One would expect the CM to act maturely particularly in such kind of cases. Also while I appreciate and respect the good efforts/intentions of some non-Goans towards Goa in various aspects, there are some non-Goans in Goa who are well known in constantly trying to stoke communal flames; as now being recently done in this case of St Francis Xavier. I request Goans irrespective of religious backgrounds to please not entertain these troublemakers and Goa CM to please take tough action against them on an urgent basis.
