‘Concerned citizens’, PNCR picketers clash outside Congress Place
The PNCR supporters on the left face-off with the ‘concerned citizens’
A group of just over a dozen persons calling themselves ‘concerned citizens’ was yesterday evicted from the roadway just outside the People’s National Congress Reform headquarters at Congress Place Sophia.
When this newspaper visited the scene yesterday, there were picketers on both sides of the roadway as the PNCR picketers were just outside of the party’s headquarters fence hurling chants at the other group that was on the other side of the road.
This newspaper sought to solicit a comment from the group calling themselves ‘concerned citizens’ but was told that the placards they were bearing said everything.
When asked what the group hoped to achieve, they reiterated that the placards were speaking for them, but were vociferous in saying that they were not paid to conduct the activity.
After about an hour-long standoff with the PNCR supporters seemingly defending the fort, some of the obviously agitated party members approached the concerned group and in the process managed to retrieve some of their placards which were promptly torn to shreds.
The now confused, ‘concerned citizens’ at this point in time decided it would be better to abandon the activity.
