One of the most popular beach tourist
destinations in India, Goa is facing a serious problem. Today, many of
these beaches are called ‘Israeli’ or ‘Russian’ village where Israeli
and Russian tourists openly indulge in drug and sex trafficking.
Russian and Israeli tourist enclaves in
Goa are a threat to the state’s security, according to a think tank
patronised by an RSS ideologue.
Dattesh
Parulekar, vice president of the Forum for Integrated National Security
(FINS) in Goa, was speaking about regional enclaves popular with
foreign tourists from Russia and Israel along Goa’s coastal belt.
“Obviously, we see this as a threat, but
this threat can best be handled by popularising the issue, creating
awareness about the issue with the common man,” he said at a press
conference here to announce an annual lecture series.
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ideologue Indresh Kumar is the chief patron of FINS.
Parulekar also said the think-tank was
working on a Goa-based defence academy, for which budgetary allocation
has already been made by the Bharatiya Janata Party-led coalition
government in the state.
