Margao: Goa Forward Party (GFP) has condemned the police and government action to single out and harass the activists fighting for Goa. Party president Vijai Sardesai said this was worse than the Portuguese rule.
Speaking on the Chandor agitators being summoned, Vijai added, “We were with them yesterday, will be there today and tomorrow as well to oppose the anti-Goa projects that are coming in Goa. Take action against your MLAs Clafasio, Filipe Neri Rodrigues and Alina Saldanha for opposing the projects. In fact I am surprised about Alina Saldanha. How are you (Alina) in the party and why don’t you quit? What is keeping you there? If there are no answers that mean you are complicit with the Government.”
