Panaji, Sept 28 (PTI) Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Sunday took a swipe at parties seeking official status to Romi Konkani script by including it in the Official Language Act, terming their demand as "politically motivated." Addressing an event in his assembly constituency of Sankhalim, Sawant appealed to Konkani lovers not to fall prey to such a motivated agenda.

Sawant was reacting to a demand raised by a section of people for inclusion of Romi Konkani (Konkani written in Roman script) in the Official Language Act and making it compulsory in primary education.
