In support of Fr Cedric Prakash

PRESS RELEASE
Dear Media Friends,
Salaam.
You must be aware of the recent alligations made by the Goa C.M. on Fr. Cedric Prakash. We have taken serious view of it and we are being supported in our petition by important people allover.
We request you the cover this petition in your respected news paper / Magazine / Channel.
We thank you for this.
Hiren Gandhi                             Dr. Saroop Dhruv
[DARSHAN]                              [INSAF]


The Petition…..
We condemn the statements made by the CM of Goa  Manohar Parrikar accusing Fr Cedric Prakash of "spreading religious discontent"and equating him(Fr Prakash) with the rabid Sri Rama Sene chief Pramod Muthalik

Fr Prakash is a long-standing campaigner for human rights, justice and peace-and he has been consistently taking up the cause of those whose human rights have been violated -irrespective of their religious background. He has been a strong promoter of communal harmony and has received  several national and international recognitions for his work.
Parrikar's statements are certainly in bad taste and are totally false-they are obviously meant to divert the focus from the plight of those who suffer in our society and are a blatant attempt to intimidate human rights defenders like Fr Prakash. Fr Prakash has every right as a free citizen of India to critique and expound his views on Modi's Gujarat model.
We condemn Goa CM Parrikar's statements and call upon all democratic and secular citizens to echo this call
