PANAJI: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Nilesh Cabral on Wednesday threatened to sit on a dharna if the culprits behind the mass desecration at a Catholic cemetery in his constituency were not arrested before the end of the monsoon session of the Goa Legislative Assembly.

The session is scheduled to begin on July 18.

“These desecrations are a threat to my government. Police have to act quickly and arrest those responsible for the desecration,” said Mr. Cabral.

Meanwhile, a delegation from the Goa NCP called on Governor Mridula Sinha and Director General of Police Muktesh Chander, and submitted a memorandum seeking prompt action against miscreants. NCP Goa president Jose Philip D’souza led the delegation.
