Panaji: The Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao on Wednesday questioned the intention of the central government over the inquiry of only residents of Goa for acquisition of citizenship from other countries.
Alemao was reacting to the move of the central government to conduct an inquiry of only residents of Goa for the acquisition of citizenship from other countries.
“I feel it strange that the Ministry of Home Affairs has asked to inquire only about residents of Goa. People from Gujarat, Daman, Diu, and Maharashtra are also obtaining foreign nationality. Why is this government only targeting Goans?” Alemao questioned.
“MHA should first ask Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to inquire if any leader of BJP’s Goa unit is acquiring citizenship of Portugal. They should start inquiring from their fold first,” Alemao said.
“Our country has seen how tainted, and leaders with labels of corruption are cleansed in BJP once they are imported. Law should be common to all. But BJP has proved that it is ‘different’. It is not a ‘party with differences’,’’ Alemao said.
“With this move, BJP is trying to target minorities of Goa. BJP is anti-minorities, which has been proved on many occasions,’’ Alemao charged.
“People of Goa are migrating to other countries because the government has failed to provide employment,” he pointed out.
He said that the BJP government has failed to protect the minorities of the state. “I hope Chief Minister Pramod Sawant will explain why his ‘double engine’ chose only Goa to conduct inquiries in this issue of acquisition of citizenship from other countries and no other neighbouring states,” Alemao said.
