Panaji, Nov 13: J T Vaz, chief organizer of Goa Pradesh Congress Seva Dal, met Shantaram Naik MP and demanded that the government should clarify that “Mesta” community which have been declared as OBC Community in Goa includes “Christian Mesta” Community also.
Vaz told Naik that deputy collectors in Goa refuse to entertain applications of 'Christian Mesta' Community for issuing OBC certificates in their favour. He added that actually no clarification is required as, community “Mesta” should be deemed to include mestas from Christian community.
Naik immediately contacted minister for social welfare Sudin Dhavlikar who assured him that he will get the notification amended to clarify the matter.
