Over 100 crosses, plaques vandalised at Goa cemetery


Panaji, Jul 10 (IANS): Over 100 crosses and plaques at a cemetery in South Goa were desecrated in the wee hours of Monday, police said.

Police sources said that a CCTV camera installed at the Guardian Angel Catholic cemetery in Curchorem village, 45 km from here, was damaged before the vandals went around indiscriminately desecrating crosses and plaques fixed atop graves.

Speaking to IANS, Deputy Inspector General of Police Rupinder Kumar said: "We are at the site right now," as he took stock of the situation.

This is the fourth such incident in the last one month involving desecration of religious artefacts.

The Goa Police has already formed a special team to crack the series of desecrations, which Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has said was being carried out by people with vested interests to disturb communal harmony in the state.

    How many more hundred crosses and plaques should be destroyed before Parrikkar opens his mouth. Anyway, his silence speaks volumes.

    you should read more. Parrikar has already given a statement.
    If somebody is asking for parrikars resignation, then that person should have the grace to ask for siddu's resignation for the failure of law and order in DK.

    Are you ashamed now to own responsibility in spite of your 56" chest. Even your BJP MP showed 2002 Gujrat riot photos as Bengal unrest. Now FAKUISM rules India since 2014. .

    These are not isolated incidents but a dliberate attempt by Divisive forces to polorise our society. South India should rise to the occasion and drive these forces out of South India. Mr Parikars appointment as CM is against the popular mandate. This is what has been touted before the last general elections as Gujarat Model of Development. God Save Our Beloved Country.

    We need to protest these crimes with unity. These goons of BJP/RSS/BD/SRS/HJV goons will not let anyone leave in peace. Don’t know what they are trying to do. Will they be able to live in peace when they kill, loot, torture the innocents for no reason but just in the name of religion. We have lot of problems in India because of these corrupt politicians with vested interests who are trying to divert the people and keep them busy in riots, clashes, murders etc. Hope we all realize the motives of these fanatics and act cautiously in the forthcoming elections to show them their way.

    According to blind bhakt like you the crosses were vandalized by the dead buried in the cemetery. Enough advocating the devil. We know who is devil and who is Angel. Keep your advocacy and justification to yourself. These acts of coward devils who work under the darkness makes our faith even stronger because we trust in ONE eternal God who is our strength and protector. He will deliver the justice to us and we do not trust human justice. Many have shed their own blood for our Lord Jesus Christ and many are ready to do it today. Praise the Lord.

    As long as no proof no need to blame anyone . Only God can punish the people whoever carrying these kind of act against any religions .Everyone have their own beliefs towards their God. No one knows whose religion is correct or perfect . So far no one come back alive after the death to inform us that they went to hell or heaven because of the religions .So keep the faith on your own religion.and keep the peace and humanity

    Dont be panic, as God is not in man made things... Just ignore and carry on with your daily routine.

    Are we living in “the last days”?

    Yes. World conditions as well as Bible chronology indicate that the last days began in 1914. At that time, God’s Kingdom began ruling in heaven, and one of its first actions was to expel Satan the Devil and the demons from heaven and restrict their activity to the earth. (Revelation 12:7-12) Satan’s influence on mankind can be seen in many of the bad attitudes and actions that make the last days “critical times hard to deal with.”—2 Timothy 3:1.

    Dev, we have been taught to love our enemy, not the devil, satan or their advocates and supporters. About averting the damage, please do not worry about it. When the time come, we know how to avert it with the help of ONE supreme God. Not with the help of Satan or his followers. Satan and his army could dame our mortal body. Not our immortal spirit and soul. Better Satan and his supporters take care of themselves in order to avoid more damage to their body and soul. What is the use of winnig the whole world and losing the soul ? Praise the Lord.
