Mr Rane how can you make such a disparaging and derogatory statement about the Goan Diaspora in London? What does it matter if they are cleaning a toilet, stacking a shelf, washing cars or any other form of honest work in London or elsewhere. The imperative word being HONEST. I guess you would not know that there is something called dignity of labour. You are so used to getting freebies from the Government that maybe you have forgotten the saying “Nothing in life is free.” The Goans In London are trading their work hours for a salary at the end of the month. What are you trading to get your month-end remuneration?
Were you trying to score some brownie points, at the expense of those ‘toilet cleaners’? You had failed miserably in the entire previous session of that assembly when you were unable to question, argue or defend any point with Mr Parrikar?
So in your wisdom you thought you would divert attention to some totally unrelated topic. Tell me what is “marang vaitat’, NO, Mr Rane they are not dying there, they are working for a living, something you and many others would not know much about.
No, Mr Rane, those Goans have integrated into British society and do understand the work culture, so they do not need your apology. They do understand that everyone cannot be a managing director, someone has to clean the toilets too. Would you be able to comprehend this? Three Goan origin MPs Keith Vaz, Suella Fernandes and Valerie Vaz have once again been elected as MP’s to the UK Parliament. Suella Fernandes has been made a minister this year.
Non-resident external (NRE) deposits, monies sent by workforce from foreign soil to families back home in Goa, amounted to Rs 11,875 crores as on March 31, 2016. Do you see that number, Mr Rane? Please read that figure again and contemplate your position in your party, if your statement would cause that figure to drastically drop.
