FIRs against two activists for hurting religious feelings

Panaji/Vasco: After an FIR was registered at Panaji police station against activist Rama Kankonkar for hurting religious sentiments, an FIR against Xencor Polgi, also an activist, was registered on a similar charge at Vasco police station, on Thursday.
“We demand action against Polgi for his hurtful statements against Swamiji, who is a world spiritual leader. Instead of spreading hatred among people, he should spread the message of peace, love and harmony,” said Vasco resident Shashikant Kerkar, in a press statement.
Devotees of Tabobhoomi mutt, Kundaim, and followers of Padma Shri Swami Brahmeshanand had filed a complaint against Kankonkar on Wednesday evening. People had come to the Panaji police station in big numbers demanding his expulsion from Goa.
