Pooja Bedi posts video from Goa home after tweet on quarantine facility: ‘I refuse to be a soft target for jealous people’

Pooja Bedi has been on the centre of an argument after she tweeted in regards to the ‘unhygienic’ quarantine facility in Goa, the place she was stationed when she drove all the way down to the state along with her fiancé Maneck Contractor lately. After being slammed for criticising the measures taken to regulate the unfold of the coronavirus, she shared an inside video of the power, claiming that ‘it is much more of a risk getting contaminated in a place like this than a home that we come from’.

Now, Pooja has shared a brand new video from her dwelling in Goa, which was targetted at Goans who have been slamming her for coming into their state right now. “I love Goa! its my home too! I refuse to be a soft target for embittered, jealous, fearful & narrow minded people. They should know facts… before they attack.!!!” she wrote on Instagram.

In the video, Pooja says, “Clearly, I am in the eye of a storm with all my tweets regarding my journey from Mumbai to Goa and the appalling quarantine facilities that we were subjected to. I would like to start by stating we did everything as good, law-abiding citizens. We applied to the Goa government online and uploaded all our documents, which include the fact that my fiancé Maneck Contractor is Goan. What that means is that his voter ID, Aadhaar card and his passport are registered to Goa. The homes that we possess and our properties are registered in Goa and our businesses are also registered in Goa. Goa is our home. We then also got permission from the DGP to travel through the state of Maharashtra, which we had to apply for. In addition, we also had a screening certificate in hand, which was mandatory to state that we were not symptomatic of the coronavirus.”

“We arrived in Goa, at the border, at around 7 pm. We were kept there till about 9.30 pm and I must say that the Goa Police was extremely nice, very courteous and kind, doing their job. It’s not their fault that the screening facility they took us to at Asilo in Mapusa was really unsanitised. The fact that we waited two hours in line like good citizens, no favours asked… We were taken there by police escort, once again, no favours asked, to the Calangute Residency Annexe – that’s like a quarantine facility – where we were kept with a police person not to protect us but to protect all of Goa against the outsiders that could come and infect them,” she added.

Pooja identified that the video of the quarantine facility shared by her is proof that the circumstances will not be on top of things. She stated that as a substitute of directing their outrage at that, Goans have been upset along with her for coming into their state and supposedly placing them in danger.

“I can’t understand why the Goans are outraged about the fact that I spoke about the state of the facility, because it is in the interest of Goa that the facility be kept safe and sanitised. Coronavirus will come on the backs of people. It doesn’t look to see whether you are Goan or non-Goan. It is not the outsiders that are bringing the coronavirus in. It could be anybody, even a package or a delivery system. The virus does not discriminate. I would really like to tell every single person out there who is watching this video that we have become such a divisive, cruel, fearful, negative society that we view everything with such suspicion, disdain and incredible fierce psychosis. We have forgotten how to be human,” she stated.

 

Pooja emphasised that she and Maneck have been ‘following due process of law’ and ‘looking out for’ the Goans. “If in any way, I am speaking up, and my voice is heard, it’s all the better. That facility today may be sanitised because somebody has made note of it and made it public,” she stated.

Pooja additionally appealed to the Goans to be sort and never discriminate in opposition to these coming into the state from outdoors. “Please know that this is my home too, and please know that every Indian should be at home in every state,” she stated, including that she intends to quiet down in Goa and is a ‘Goan by heart’.
