Goa Cong’s Chodankar, tribal leader Shirodkar booked for hurting religious sentiments
PANAJI: (May 2) Two FIRs were registered against Congress leader Girish Chodankar and tribal leader Govind Shirodkar in Goa’s Mapusa police station for allegedly hurting religious sentiments, an official said on Saturday.
The cases were registered after several hundred persons held a protest outside the state police headquarters here under the banner of Hindu Ekta Samiti.
The protesters accused Chodankar of distorting ‘Ma Durga’ aarti. The case against Shirodkar stems from his alleged claim that Goans have the DNA of St Francis Xavier, the official said.
