MARGAO: Goans for Dabolim Only (GFDO) convenor Fr Eremito Rebello has accused the Parrikar government of not cooperating with the organisation on its demand towards the scrapping of the proposed airport at Mopa.
Addressing tiatr lovers at the Dabolim vo Mopa tiatr directed by Tony Dias at the Ravindra bhavan, Fr Rebello further accused the government of spreading lies on the airport issue, but exuded confidence that truth would finally prevail.
“We are moving ahead with this movement with the support of all people, including the tiatrists. This movement cannot be taken forward by a sole individual. We are engaged in a battle with the Navy on the one hand and both the previous and the present government,” Fr Rebello told the people.
He, however, said that the movement against Mopa will finally win the battle, saying “we believe in God and the truth will prevail”.
Calling upon the people of Goa and the tiatr fraternity to continue supporting the movement against Mopa, Fr Rebello thanked director of Dabolim vo Mopa tiatr. We are not working with any ulterior motive. We have no plans to fight elections or other vested interests. We are fighting for the truth that Mopa cannot come up and only Dabolim should remain as Goa’s lone civilian airport,” he added.
