Margao: It is Roman script using Christians from Salcete in large numbers who have faced the problems during language agitation but due place was not given to the Roman script of Konkani in the Official Language Bill. Christians were used for the purpose.  Those who sacrificed their lives during language agitation were Christians.  They were chargesheeted and I had represented for about 70 suits against them.  Konkani is the only language of Goa and I had moved a Private Member Bill in the Assembly to give recognition to Romi Konkani, said Adv.
