Panaji, Jan 30 (TIWN) A senior South Western Railway official who had caused outrage last week when he called Goa BJP MLA Alina Saldanha as a "Portuguese", has been summoned by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant.

Political parties, including the ruling BJP, across the board in Goa, on Monday, condemned the incident, even as the AAP in Goa, sarcastically questioned as to whether the implementation of the NRC had already started in Goa.   “We are 100% Indians, although we were under Portuguese rule for a long time.  This was a wrong comment by the Indian Railways official. I will raise this issue in the state Assembly,” Alina told Deccan Herald, a day after her bitter exchange with the manager of the South Western Railways A K Singh in her constituency in South Goa.
