PANJIM: The Aam Aadmi Party leader Adv Amit Palekar will observe fast unto death from Monday until the government takes concrete steps to revoke all the licences issued to illegal structure at the Old Goa heritage site. 

While addressing the media persons on Sunday, Adv Palekar said, “To preserve the beauty of Goa and Goenkarpon, I have taken the decision to start fast unto death from Monday. It will continue until the government will not take concrete procedure to revoke all the permissions given to build the illegal structure.” 

“Politicians are currently busy at passing the buck. I am not doing all this as an AAP leader but I want to preserve my Goa for the future generation. I will sit near the Basilica of Bom Jesus Church to hold fast unto death,” he added. 

“Currently, all the political leaders in Goa have sold Goa. Most of the people lost their jobs during the employment and due to that their economic conditions got worst. But, have you seen politicians becoming poor? No. Because the Congress and the BJP is busy looting common people,” he said.
