Valanka Alemao has strongly opposed Subhash Velingkar’s remarks regarding St. Francis Xavier, which have caused widespread outrage among the Christian community in Goa. Along with her father, Churchill Alemao, she filed a police complaint against Velingkar, urging legal action due to the offensive nature of his comments. Valanka, along with other petitioners, has been vocal in denouncing the statements, arguing that they hurt the religious sentiments of many Goans and should not be tolerated. She played a key role in opposing Velingkar’s anticipatory bail application, which was rejected by the court​.
