Padma Shri awardee and Goa's eminent author Maria Aurora Couto who was accused of hypocrisy over only speaking about recent communal issues but disregarding ones happening in the state, has spoken about the controversy.
Several Goa Sahitya Akademi and Padma Shri awardees including Couto had joined authors and poets from other parts of the countries to express their concern about the Dadri killing and murders of Hindutva dissenting rationalists.

Hypocrisy is not on Smt Couto's part but on the part of the Catholic community Most pretend not to understand or speak Konkani and those who do speak with a British accent The idea is to eschew anything perceived ad Hindu Calling Rawanfond Rapond Chaandra or Chandrapur as Shaandor and Chinchona as Shishinim are just a few examples I don't call Jesus as Jaizus to Hindufy him
