The PPP leaders are setting a terrible example

Mar 18, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
It is worrying to look and listen to the utterances of the leaders in the Jagdeo/Ramotar cabal and the manner in which they dispense their messages especially those yearly messages from Babu Jaan.
Our society is suffering from a lack of self-control and many of our young ones cannot emancipate themselves from this mental slavery of racism and public irresponsible behaviour because the leaders in the Jagdeo/Ramotar cabal, who they ought to look up to, are the prime purveyor of the racist message from their bully pulpit. One just has to listen to them at Babu Jaan. They fall short of being good examples for the nation.
The media can’t be blamed for publicizing their behaviour; the fourth estate has a role to report the truth. The truth is that the leaders in the Jagdeo/Ramotar cabal keep showing the people how they truly are; political yard fowls. They’re most irresponsible people!
If this nation is to grow not just economically but socially, these leaders in the Jagdeo/Ramotar cabal must behave in a manner that allows the media to promote them in a positive light regardless of their message; they must have dignity and decorum.
Our people in high office need to think much more deeply and cautiously when sensitizing the public on the pertinent issues. Would the message not have been more valuable to the people’s lives if the President spoke of his plans for Guysuco?
Why all this fear mongering and political overstatement? Why this anxiety to score political points; causes distress and disruption in the people’s lives?
We must be examples to the young ones and this can only be achieved by our behaviour.
People in authority must have more control over their brain and tongue; but it is clear in the Jagdeo/Ramotar camp there is evidence that many may be suffering from spates of “cerebral disorder”.
You cannot know the communal impact of these Babu Jaan messages with its racial insecurities and fear mongering among the people and still continue to do it. President Ramotar ought to be a better man than his “mud marching” immediate predecessor.
