Don’t divide Goans on religious lines


Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant after raising the issue of restoration of Hindu temples that were demolished during the colonial Portuguese rule has now raising the issue of religious conversions and distracting Goans from real issues like poverty, unemployment, corruption, inflation etc.

We Goans (irrespective of caste, creed and religion) have historically lived peacefully in communal harmony as civilised human beings in this state for the last so many years using our own common sense or brains and not by relying on the lies & rumours. 

Sawant should therefore stop raising such issues and divide Goans on religious lines. Hope better sense prevail.
