Freddie Kissoon replies to Neil Kumar

Nov 11, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
I refer to Neil Kumar’s letter in KN, Wed, Nov 7. I once wrote an entire column on Kumar as Sports Director of this country in which I referred to him as the most asinine politician in the world. All the senior PPP leaders have to do to save this country some embarrassment is to tell Kumar not to write and talk because whenever he does so, it raises question about the collective IQ of the PPP
Kumar says that I didn’t repeat what he Kumar accused Moses Nagamootoo of when I penned a column on Kumar’s accusation. How can any human be so unintelligent? Why would I repeat what should never come out of a person’s mouth? Kumar knows the horrible, personal insult he made against the character of Moses Nagamootoo.
Prime News broadcast it. A member of the People’s Parliament, Tyrone Talbert publicly expressed disgust at what Kumar said in the Stabroek News. But Kumar in his letter stayed away from repeating what he said. In any decent Parliament, Kumar would have been banned if an apology was not offered to the offended Member of the House. But who is going to discipline Kumar. They are all the same at Freedom House
In relation to what Kumar wrote about what took place in Agricola, ninety five percent of it is fiction. What has not been reported is that the PPP had ample time to send their goons in the protest to rob people to blame it on the opposition. And this is what happened.
People have told this columnist that four youths entered a car after attacking people and headed for Georgetown. That car belongs to an infamous PPP thug. I was shown two weeks ago who were among the attackers, it was one of the thugs that sought to break up the academic conference when I was the speaker in 2010 at the National Library. I know him anywhere. I can spot him from a distance.
The Agricola protest was badly organized and that is why PPP goons were able to infiltrate it.
The next time the organizers would know better. Interestingly, one junior rank of the police force told me that when he went to stop a youth from pushing his hands into a mini-bus, his commanding officer politely told him not to bother with such petty things but keep an eye on the protestors? What does this tell you? The infiltration of the protest was well planned
Kumar’s letter is a colossal evidence of what happened in the 1960s. The PPP used race politics to bait the PNC under Forbes Burnham and United Force under Peter D’Aguiar. It is the only game they know. It is the only culture they understand.
It is the only language they can speak. It is the only thought about politics they have. It is the only picture they have of their role in Guyana. They continue to invent tall, fictional tales about East Indian girls being molested in Agricola. To date they cannot produce one female victim or her patents.
One guy claimed that he was beaten, but refused to take off his hat for some of us to see the laceration. It turned out he had no cut and is a member of the PPP Diamond committee.
The female Indian victim is so banal a tactic that the country knows what the PPP is up to whenever they cry wolf. The innocent female Indian being beaten up by African Guyanese they believe is their trump card.
What I am curious to know is how the security forces feel when they see their government so barefaced in inciting racial feelings in East Indians.
Surprisingly, APNU and the AFC did not go on the offensive to prove to the world that the PPP, just as they did in the sixties, were inciting racial animosities by propagandizing about untrue events in Agricola.
This writer and other media personnel know of one particular youth who told us he was paid $20, 000 to travel up to Parika and beat up people in cars and mini-buses
