PANAJI: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said his government would take the lead in bringing back documents related to Goan history from Portugal and Maharashtra.
“There are many documents that are still in Portugal. I have already told the minister and the department that they should contact the Ministry of External Affairs and bring back all the documents related to Goa from Portugal,” said CM Sawant.
He further said that the minister should take this initiative and visit Portugal if necessary and bring documents related to Goa back into the custody of the Goa government.
“These documents can be put to good use by historians and for historical research,” he added.
Sawant also said that there is a need to preserve these documents for our future generation to know Goa’s history and to protect the history.
Sawant said that documents related to the forts and another history of Goa have Portugal, which need to be brought back for research purposes and to get exact information about all events that happened in the past.
