The overseas Citizens of India are not interested in the SHIT political system of India. The Indian politicians and the political system lies under the gutter.

The above circular issued by V.K. Jha is a slap on the face of CHOR SINARI who made the statement recently that the Portuguese passport holders (Goans) should not be allowed to visit their homeland GOA. I think he is going downhill due to his age. Sinari ask forgiveness with Goans or else you will go to HELL or if you beleive in rebith you may come down again like a dog or a donkey.

We are not interested in the benefit of Indians, as I am in Goa I would rather see a separate Goa with rights for overseas Goans. What ever takes place in Goa effects them, India is another occupying force.

Dogs and Donkeys are better animals than this SIN-HAR-JAN. Dogs are faithful, donkey carried Jesus.

These Harijans will
come as gutter rats on rebirth.

I agree with you 101%. The true Freedom Fighters fought for Goa and Goans not to throw the Goans out of Goa. Shame on the freedole Farters.
