A day after Goa Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar termed offshore casinos a “mess”created by Congress and said he was forced to deal with the issue which was like taking care of someone else’s “children”, the Opposition party today condemned the remarks and demanded his apology to all women in the state.
“The way Chief Minister has made the statement clearly shows the thinking capacity and RSS preachings to BJP leaders,” Goa Congress spokesperson Durgadas Kamat said in a statement here.
“Chief Minister has insulted and demeaned pregnant women and motherhood by comparing them with casinos,”
Talking to reporters yesterday, Parsekar had defended the state government’s decision to allow offshore casinos in River Mandovi.
Parsekar had said.”Someone had said I was forced to marry a pregnant woman, What to do. So, naturally I am forced to take care of her children,”

Congress chief Luzinho Faleiro’s had remarked that Goa become “sin city” because of the offshore casinos.
