NRI’s are toilet cleaners- Congress leader

Pratapsingh Rane a congress leader from Goa has severely upset his party with his curious comments. Speaking in the legislative assembly last week, Mr Rane had said that people of Goa who work abroad as toilet cleaners. This has of course created a stir among lakhs of Goa natives who live in overseas. Sensing the storming of this controversy, Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) has demanded an explanation over his statement. The GPCC President had to issue a strong apology distancing his party with the comments of Rane.

He further had to issue a statement praising the Goa natives that live outside the nation- "Goa has a long history of migration. Goans have enriched every country to which they migrated. Many of them have and continue to hold high posts in Civil, Corporate, Government including Military and Education and Research establishments in many Countries. Some have adorned echelons of Democratic, Social, Medical and Banking and Scientific establishments."
