Abstract

"Becoming a priest is an easy way of going to a foreign country within two or three years, arranging opportunities for relatives and friends abroad and then establishing a non-governmental organisation (NGO) for fishermen in their local villages. There are any numbers of prosperous NGOs receiving foreign funds in the name of fishermen under the patronage of parish priests all along the west coast. All this works to the disadvantage of the lot of the ordinary fishworker and his family members who are kept on a tight leash, never allowed even to air his grievances properly. A time will come soon when there will be bloodshed on the coast," Soosai Antony said.
