Dear Editor,
Someone sent us a letter to the press written by one Mr. Neil Kumar, a PPP Member of Parliament, on his experience on the day of the Agricola mayhem. We want to reject this letter in its entirety; it is a travesty and a farce on reality. This is classic PPP propaganda, distortions and lies. These PPP propagandists have no shame with their bold-faced lies. Who do they think they are fooling?
You have to be very scornful of the ordinary people to witness “sexual molestation” and run away like a classic chicken, especially when you are a licensed firearm carrier. To compound the situation, Mr. Kumar chose to publish his comments and expect people to believe him.
What did he do as a Member of Parliament upon witnessing these transgressions of the law? There were police in the theatre of action, why did he not do the right thing and seek help? Why did he not call his President and plead with him to call the Army out?
It was Martin Luther King who said “… the greatest tragedy …..was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people?” We condemn in a severe manner the actions of the thugs who assaulted and robbed good people on that faithful day in Agricola. But we choose our harshest condemnation for the Neil Kumars of the land. The people look up to them for service and protection. But when the people are in dreadful situations like the Agricola mayhem, what did the Kumars and his kind from the PPP do?
They ran away. These people are not ordinary because ordinary people will either intervene or seek help from the police.
Why didn’t Mr. Kumar execute a citizen’s arrest to protect the innocent victims or engage the Police for help? It is either he is telling a blatant untruth or is nothing but a coward who cares little for the well-being of the ordinary Guyanese.
But we do not believe one word from Mr. Kumar and his writing is a dangerous attempt to stir up racial strife, something not unfamiliar to the PPP operatives. The ruling PPP leaders continually try to tell the people that what they say is the truth – no matter what the people saw, no matter what they experienced. Who does Mr. Kumar feel he is to use the newspapers to continually insult our intelligence and our capacity to pick sense from his nonsense?
But what we found extremely interesting is Mr. Kumar’s third and fourth hand information came out of the PPP playbook of the 1960s. To what end?
How relevant is that information to putting bread on the tables of the poor and working class today? How relevant is that information in creating jobs for the youths?
This is the diversionary scheme the Jagdeo/Ramotar cabal has and continues to use. But there is a grander PPP scheme unfolding since they lost the majority in 2011.
They have sunk to a new low. It is all-out racial strife. But again we must remind the likes of Mr. Kumar, when the poor and the working class “belly a bun, the brain does wake up.” Nobody is going into any PPP sheep pen.
All the PPP operatives, including Mr. Kumar, who witnessed the transgression and chose to hide, have also committed a sin against those who were robbed, molested or beaten in their presence and should hide their faces in shame.
Might we remind Mr. Kumar that it is the Government of the day that is responsible for the domestic security of all its citizens; whether they hail from Enterprise or Agricola?
We are informing the people of Guyana to be aware of the trap the PPP has and continues to set for them. We are all Guyanese who are striving to do our best to survive and to rid our country of corruption, crime, illegal narcotics, child prostitution and molestation. If Mr. Kumar and the PPP do not know, we as Guyanese are in this together. Stay strong people and stand up to the bullies at Freedom House.
Shame on you Mr. Kumar!
