Freedom fighters, children should speak up for Goa

Goans woke up to shocking news that about 35 armed goons broke into the house of Rajesh Sinary (Son of Goa freedom fighter the late Purushottam Sinary); and dispossessed the home of Rajesh, his wife and 6-year-old daughter! What is more shocking is the complacent attitude of the Anjuna Police in this matter. My particular request is to the freedom fighters/children to speak up.  Recently, I have noted eminent freedom fighter(s) receiving National, State Awards and conversing comfortably with Goa's ministers; so surely I hope that they can also speak up about this outrageous attack,  besides also speaking up on the other ills facing Goa including high corruption and the massive sale, conversion, destruction of Goa's scarce land, hills, water bodies, non development zones, eco sensitive areas, forests, trees, etc to real estate companies, land sharks, celebrities from outside Goa.  I do not believe that the purpose of the freedom fighters ended in 1961.  Law abiding Goans are now threatened by Indian, Goan goons and the establishment (including the govt/machinery and the police)  Hope Goa's freedom fighters, children can speak up for Goa as this could make a big impact.
