Dear Editor,
When Moses Nagamootoo blasted the current clique running the PPP and what they have done to destroy the legacy of Cheddi Jagan, he was speaking the truth. We all know of the cold-hearted beast and immoral animal of misery, autocracy and wrongdoing the PPP has become under the watch of Ramotar and Jagdeo.
We all knew Nagamootoo was going to say exactly what he said. What I was most interested in was the response of the clique. True to form and true to their heinous, bitter, childish and overtly sensitive natures incapable of tact and unwilling to accept valid criticism, the clique responded as I expected.
The clique operating in the cesspool the PPP has become most absurdly claimed that Nagamootoo’s statements were to be viewed as a direct attack on the PPP General Secretary, Donald Ramotar. The clique in typical tactical ineptitude foolishly provided a name and a face to Nagamootoo’s comments.
The provided an accused to fit Nagamootoo’s charges. It essentially said Nagamootoo was speaking about Ramotar. Now, those PPP supporters who believe Nagamootoo will now believe that Ramotar is the man who led the bulldozing. To add fuel to the fire, the charges from Nagamootoo have a powerful ring of truth to them. As a former minister of information and a master propagandist himself, Moses Nagamootoo must be laughing at these amateurish mishaps from the Jagdeo/Ramotar propaganda zoo.
While the clique likely thought there was political leverage and mileage for Ramotar’s presidential campaign by claiming that Nagamootoo was directly condemning Ramotar, they failed to realise their folly of trying to pit Nagamootoo versus Ramotar.
Particularly when most if not all PPP supporters know intimately that Nagamootoo was talking the truth. Nagamootoo versus Ramotar is a no-contest. It is a Mike Tyson-like 30-second knockout for Nagamootoo. Ramotar never had, never has and will never have the stature and standing of a Nagamootoo to PPP supporters.
Anyone with half a brain reading Nagamootoo’s comments would know that this infamous clique is led by Jagdeo and Ramotar with Robert Persaud as footsoldier-in-chief. But it is interesting that Nagamootoo’s scathing comments became an attack on Ramotar and not on Jagdeo when both are responsible for the demise of the PPP party.
It is as if Jagdeo made Ramotar the guy to take the fall on this one. By removing himself from those directly attacked by Nagamootoo, Jagdeo’s image remains intact while Ramotar takes the fall and the blows that comes from going head to head with Moses Nagamootoo in the ring of PPP supporters’ opinion. One has to seriously question whether Ramotar can be trusted with the presidency if he makes himself so accessible to doing the dirty work for others and if he is so easily hoodwinked. Donald Ramotar is making Sam Hinds look like a man with his own political mind.
On the final issue of the AFC approaching Nagamootoo, how is this the Ramotar’s and Jagdeo’s business? Any political party can approach a member of another political party.
The PPP approached former House of Israel and PNC member Joseph Hamilton and former PNC member Phillip Bynoe to join the PPP. Donald Ramotar has no right writing Nagamootoo about his future political intentions. Nagamootoo had already told the PPP for quite some time he is withdrawing. It is brazen barefacedness to write Nagamootoo asking him to clarify. Nagamootoo should garbage that letter. If Nagamootoo responds to that letter, he will be subserving himself to a clique that destroyed his political career and essentially exiled him from a political party he has served for 40 years. Nagamootoo’s political future is his own private business. Nagamootoo’s leaving the PPP is a separate matter from his political future. Did anyone write a letter to Jagdeo and Ramotar asking them about their political intentions when they corrupted, devastated and defiled the PPP of Cheddi Jagan?
Did the Jagdeo and Ramotar clique write Moses Nagamootoo to explain their reasons for bulldozing him and chasing him out of a party he has served for 40 years with hounds at his heels? Did they provide him clarification of why they cast out a man who had served the party faithfully for four decades? Did Jagdeo and Ramotar write PPP supporters telling them their reasons for suspending a mandatory general congress in 2011, depriving PPP members of their right to vote and to air their views?
