MARGAO: The Goa Pradesh Congress President Girish Chodankar on Friday inducted founder member of Goa Seamen Association of India Dixon Vaz and hundreds of his supporters into the Congress.
Girish said entry of Dixon has not only strengthened the Congress in Benaulim but entire Goa.
“Our Congress Benaulim Block is strengthened today. Dixon Vaz has entered into Congress with others. Dixon has fought for the issues of seafarers of Goa and his connections are not just in Goa and India but will be helpful to strengthen our party,” said GPCC President Girish.
Dixon recollected the arbitrary and wrong order of the Central Shipping Ministry of making the certificates of several thousand seafarers invalid and mentioned that he individually and through the GSAI has put up a lot of effort and follow up to relieve the seafarers from the trouble of losing employment.
“I never joined a political party. Today I have joined Congress to give the party a helping hand not just in Benaulim but entire Goa,” said Dixon urging youth to join the force of Congress.
