Goa Deputy Chief Minister Vijai Sardesai Tuesday said "sometimes aggression is required to get things done" and warned his Goa Forward Party will "weaponise" the youth if clauses like domicile in government jobs are diluted.

Sardesai was talking to reporters after inaugurating his party's new office in Panaji.

The deputy chief minister was responding to a question on dilution of domicile clause by Goa University.

Sardesai said, "We are willing to go anywhere to protect the interests of Goans. And if our government has made a mistake, then we will weaponise them (youth) to ensure that Goanness is protected."
