The bulldozed house in Assagao was a tragic episode for a Goan family, sending shockwaves across the community. It has taught us to be vigilant in safeguarding our future and preserving the Goan identity. Media reports and local voices have labelled this incident as an act of aggression (“goonda giri or dada giri”) by non-Goans who took advantage of Goan hospitality and trust. It serves as a warning to those who sell their land to ruthless individuals intent on tarnishing Goa’s peaceful image.
This raises a serious question: who is behind these disgraceful activities that undermine law and order in Goa, once a peaceful union territory and beautiful state since 1961? On the other hand, some feign innocence while shedding crocodile tears for the affected Agarwedekar family, who now live in fear. The case has taken unexpected twists, leaving Goans to ponder whether Goa is still safe or in the hands of unscrupulous land sharks.
Ethical governance, term limits, and public accountability are crucial for maintaining a peaceful and caring society. Those in power must uphold discipline without playing political games that could betray the trust of Goans. Otherwise, it risks eroding public confidence in elected representatives.
