After Achbishop of Goa and Daman Father Filipe Neri Ferrao said that the Constitution was in danger, his office today suggested that he was expressing his "anxiety to his own people" but insisted that the remarks were not against any political party or government.

Ferrao's secretary Fr Joaquim Loila Pereira said the people should read the entire 15-page letter and not "take this statement or that statement out of context and make it look as if the letter is against political parties."
The Archbishop, in a letter issued on Sunday and addressed to Christians in the Archdiocese of Goa and Daman,, said, "Today, our Constitution is in danger (and that is) the reason why most of the people are living in insecurity."
"Even if it was a small danger, I am asking you, doesn't the Bishop have the right to think that way and express his anxiety to his own people?"
