First and foremost I would like to state that no religious preachers/leaders of any community including Catholic priests should preach any speech/sermon which disrespects/demeans any other religion; so no argument there!
Having said that however, is it not clear hypocrisy and selective targeting by ruling Goa politicians particularly the Catholic BJP politicians of speaking on the same only when Catholic priests are involved? Sometime back a key person affiliated with Goa RSS from the beginning made a very provocative communal statement against a prominent Catholic Saint and right wing fringe organizations made worse communal statements at their national events organized in Goa; so why were the BJP politicians particularly the Catholic BJP ones silent then ? Have they compromised their values, integrity and fairness for “special perks/favours/commissions ” and political opportunities from the BJP?
