Inappropriate activities at Old Church at Sancoale

Will the Hon\'ble Minister for Home be pleased to state:

There is a fear and anxiety in the minds of the people of Goa as some un-necessary activities are being carried out frequently in the church property at the frontispiece of the old church at Rua Escrivo de Maria, Sancoale by some persons from outside our state of Goa. It appears that there is a move to create communal tensions in Goa. We, goans are peace loving and have been united for so many years in brotherhood and fraternity.
