PANAJI: Congress said on Wednesday that chief minister Pramod Sawant insulted two eminent Goans — Padma Vibhushan Anthony Dias and former chief of army staff General Sunith Rodrigues — by not recognising their appointments as governors. The party has demanded an apology from Sawant for his failure to recognise the two eminent Goans. “We strongly condemn the act of Sawant of spreading lies, and demand a public apology from him for insulting two eminent Goans who have contributed to the welfare of the nation and made every Goan proud,” said Congress media cell chairman Amarnath Panjikar. “Sawant must read books and learn history before making false and misleading statements.”
