PANJIM: On the similar lines of movies Kashmir Files and Kerala Files, a hardline religious outfit Hindu Janajagriti Samiti (HJS) has Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) on Wednesday said it would discuss the making of a film, ‘Goa Files’, on what they propound were “atrocities on Hindus” during Portuguese regime.

The HJS spokesperson had said that that the “making of Goa Files” will be discussed during the 11th edition of the annual all-India Hindu Rashtra Convention at Ramnathi in Ponda. The convention will see hundreds of heads of different Hindu organisations from India and around the world come together for the week-long event beginning on June 16.

Incidentally, this outfit is openly aligned with the views of Goa’s ruling dispensation, especially its recent remarks of wiping out “signs” and remnants of the Portuguese era and its decision to identify and rebuild temples ostensibly destroyed during Portuguese rule.

O Heraldo sought the reactions of our MLAs on this remark by the outfit and this is what they had to say:
