Protesting the sowing of discord
Dear Editor,
Under the caption ((Is Jagdeo pandering to racist sentiments ) of your edition of 14 th April, 2013, I was appalled at the statement coming from a former head of state of this our beloved nation. I, sir, wish to congratulate the writer, Mr Frederick Kissoon, publicly for bringing this article to the attention of this nation.
If a former head of state can publicly say to the nation and foreign dignitaries at the funeral service of one of Guyana most beloved and prominent Hindu priests and a founder member of the People’s Progressive Party that there is a resurgence of anti -East Indian resentment in Guyana, what is he calling on our Indo brothers and sisters to do to the other races here in this country?
Mr Editor I wonder if the non-Indian brothers and sisters of the PPP /C are taking note of the statement made by their party leader—- Prime Minister Sam Hinds , the Mr Robeson Benn , Cabinet Secretary Dr Roger Luncheon, Kwame Mc Coy and all the other non-Indian members and supporters of the party? Don’t they realize that what he is doing?
It seems to me that this undignified and provocative statement should be condemned by one and all, especially the chambers of commerce , the Catholic church ,The Anglican church, the Guyana Trade Union Congress ,The Federation of Independent Trade Union of Guyana, etc .
Does he think that we are not educated enough to see through the P P P/ C scheme and plan of things? Although they have stopped free education from primary to university, we are still a people of some intellectual understanding and dignity.
I call upon all Guyana, we the people, to condemn the statement and call upon him to make a public apology to all Guyanese at home and abroad .
As I see it, he is setting the seed of hatred and discord. I, David Noel , was born to an Indian mother and an African father. As a small boy I used to go to my mother’s relatives place of business at Regent and Hincks Street , near to Guyana Stores Sports department to clean potatoes and onions every Saturday. After that , my brothers and I would step over to Mr B L Crombie and he would give us the history of sports .
I call upon all and every Guyanese to desist from anything that would harm your brothers and sisters. With thanks,
David Noel,
A concerned Citizen
& Former General Secretary
