I sent this to my MP & he replied stating that he would be happy to raise the matter of Ravi Naik's comments with the foreign office. My MP asked for my address details so that he could send me the reply that he received from the foreign office.

From the "Business Line"

"New Delhi, May 30 India needs to attract more foreign tourists, whose number has dipped after the Mumbai terror attack and due to economic slowdown, the Tourism Minister, Ms Kumari Selja, said on Saturday.

“The tourism sector has a lot of challenges apart from attracting foreign tourists to India. Our goal is also to focus on the Commonwealth Games next year,” she said after taking charge. In the last few months, the numbers of foreign tourists visiting India has dipped.

“It is due to economic recession and also the terror attack in India,” she said, referring to the November 26 Mumbai attacks.

“We need to counter this drop in numbers and aggressively promote the sector in partnership with the private sector,” she said.

“We have to undertake vigorous campaigns with private companies as tourism is also a source of huge foreign exchange,” she added.

They still don't get it do they :banghead: and this AFTER Goan home minister Ravi Naik's insulting & racist comments last week ! They now want to turn to the Private Sector for assistance and funding ( won't be any money changing hands there then !:eek:

If anyone can find out an email address for the Tourism Minister, Ms Kumari Selja, we should point out what Ravi Naik has said, and explain that the Mumbai attacks and the global dowturn are only part of the story.

... actually Ravi Naik may be on the slippery slope already - his latest foot-in-moth effort was to say that since the serial killer used the girls' duppatas to strangle them - girls in Goa should stop wearing them!

I don't know if it's the same in Hindi, but I'm told that in Urdu the word for (a girl's) scarf is the same as for 'honour'. So he's telling Goan girls to go out without their honour!!!

I think this is just the Herald's version of the Ravi Naik rant - how I'd love to employ a few goons of my own to warmly shake good ole Ravi by the throat!

Worth a read, if only just to annoy oneself:
