There Bisram goes again!

Oct 17, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
Vishnu Bisram, that pollster with roots in the PPP, was at it again, this time explaining away the wrongdoing of his political party and trying unsuccessfully to put the blame on the AFC for the Agricola unrest.
Was he on the ground in Agricola to ascertain the facts?  If not, whom did he gather his facts from; Anil Nandlall?
This man got some brass to pretend to call himself  an independent pollster and still want to have the transport to write such partisan pro-PPP political trite.
FACTS:
1. At 1:38 PM on October 11, 2012, the Demerara Waves issued a public news release quoting Dr Roger Luncheon in his diatribe “We shall not be move.”  In this article there was also public evidence of that disrespectful and mocking “Let’s rumble” declaration from Luncheon.
2. By 4:00 PM , Agricola was in turmoil as a reaction to the Luncheon declaration.
3. At 5:17 PM, Shonette Grant, the mother of the slain young man cut down in the prime of his life issued a statement that said “Mr. Luncheon needs to apologize….”  She further stated “Since he ready to rumble, I want rumble too…”
4. At about 6 PM, residents of Agricola stated that they observed foreigners in their village robbing people especially Indo-Guyanese but they were too busy running from Police tear gas to carry out citizen’s arrest of these thugs.
Did Mr. Bisram check with his sources at Office of the President to find out about the meeting earlier in the day between a famous PPP thug and about 20 known Afro-Guyanese felons who were each paid $50,000 with clear instructions to insert themselves into Agricola and rob and beat Indo-Guyanese?
5. If Bisram has the capability to analyze situation then he can answer this question – Which political party has the most to gain when Indo-Guyanese are robbed and beaten in street demonstrations?  Certainly not the AFC!  Therefore, why would the AFC want to throw away the 12,000 plus votes it got in Berbice?
So how on earth can this so-called pollster arrive at the conclusion that the “opposition should be held accountable for the violence.” What was the empirical basis of his conclusion? Is this how he arrives at his poll results?  On hearsay or on the figment of Luncheon’s imagination?
Well if Bisram is speaking the truth, we have just purchased all of Manhattan.  We rest out case.
Dr. Asquith Rose and Harish S. Singh
