PANJIM: As the incidents of desecration of religious structures, especially crosses continues, the Congress party has raised fear about possible communal tension in Goa while questioning Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar’s absentee at a time when such sensitive issue is haunting the State.
“We don’t want to politicise the issue as it is very sensitive. There is possibility that the issue can lead to communal tension in the State, which needs to be averted,” All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretary Girish Chodankar told media persons on Thursday.
“I don’t understand how Chief Minister can leave the State and Country at a time when such sensitive issues are happening and need uttermost attention. People have already started to feel that the incidents are attack on their religion and there is a sort of fear,” Chodankar said adding that the Congress party will extend full support to Government in its action against those involved in creating tension in the State.
AICC leader demanded that Parrikar should hand over charge of CMO to his cabinet colleague in his absence.
