We don’t want similar things here,” a senior AAP leader Pradip Padgaonkar said. “It was a silent protest against the hate politics of the BJP,” he said. Around 100 protestors were standing opposite South Goa collectorate building, nearly 100 metres away from the venue where Shah arrived with Parrikar. The protestors who wanted to march to the venue were stopped by the police.
