Politicians please don't hijack the old Goa Protest.

 

 

Kudos to the young advocate and the full team of the Save Old Goa Action Committee who are fighting this long battle against the illegal construction at the vicinity of the heritage site at old Goa. This being a peoples movement had its own advantage of showing the govt the power of the layman. The coming together of Goenkars from all walks of life ,religion and from every nook and corner of the state on 21st November was love for  Goa. Any genuine peoples movement  that too in the election season cannot be taken lightly by the administration and the present Govt. Thanks to the three prominent Goan activists who too managed to highlight the issue on the closing day of the IFFI.

Keeping the movement apolitical was the forte of this peaceful protest and had forced  the  political parties to give statements blaming each other for the fiasco which will at the end will bring out the truth. The Save Old Goa Action Committee   should not allow their struggle which they have pain Strikingly  build up from scratch to this level where the demolition  of the structure is evident  be hijacked by any current or aspirant political parties  for their benefit. Peaceful Satyagraha by  the masses  minus the politicians will have a desired result than getting political support examples are a many like the Melavli protest of our own locals in our state or the farmers protest being the latest to bear the fruit for their struggle.
