Dear Editor,
The letter by Lionel Peters on October 4, in which he concocts total lies about my mother’s dealings with the PPP leadership and his claim that Mrs. Janet Jagan was trying to make me President of Guyana, is so far from the truth that this man should hide his head in shame.
My mother was a dedicated Marxist and her politics espoused those positions. I am a dedicated free enterprise/capitalist, oriented towards the system of American free enterprise, thus the opposing views between us; she would never have “chosen” me to lead the PPP and become President because my views are not to the PPP’s liking.
Peters was a political player but a rank opportunist and now he surfaces to sling mud, lie about almost everything and inject himself into the current political debates.
This man is a political “has-been” and will go no-where with his lies, distortions and shameful assertions which all ring in our ears: “Mr. Lionel Sour Grapes Peters”- a loser if we ever saw one!!!!!!! Cheddi (Joey) Jagan (Jr.)
