Archbishop of Goa & Daman Fr Filipe Neri Ferrao expresses grief over demise of Parrikar

Panaji, Mar 17 (UNI) Archbishop of Goa and Daman Fr Filipe Neri Ferrao on Sunday expressed grief over passing away of State Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar.
In a statement, he said, ''Shri Parrikar’s passing away is a great loss to the people of Goa. As the Chief Minister of Goa, he showed great acumen in the political administration of the State and was always considerate towards the developmental needs of the people of this land. Over the decades he emerged as a leader of national importance, having served the nation as the Union Defence Minister through a difficult period of time. His contribution for the development of the State and of the Nation will be remembered for long years to come.''
''His sense of secularism and communal harmony and respect for the various religions, cultures and traditions of the people have been generally appreciated by the population of the State, as was his judiciousness in settling issues and finding lasting solutions for the welfare of the masses. His far sight led him to plan for the near and distant future,'' he said.
