Team Herald

PANJIM: Social worker Warren Alemao from Varca has condemned the statement made Subhash Velingkar that St Francis Xavier should not be called ‘Goencho Saib’.

Warren said, “St Francis Xavier is our Patron Saint and we Goans will not allow anyone to say a word against our Patron Saint. We are hurt and disturbed by these statements but not scared of such communal elements like Subhash Velingkar.”

“We Goans are united by caste, creed and religion and no one can break our unity. We live in unity and peace all our life,” he said urging Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant to take strong action against such person/s.
