Condemning Jagdeo
Dear Editor,
Under the caption (is Jagdeo pandering to racist sentiments) of your edition of 14th April, 2013, I was appalled at the statement coming from a former head of state of this our beloved nation. I 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 cf anti-East Indian resentment in Guyana, what is he calling upon our Indo brothers and sisters to do to the African race, and all the other races here in this country?
I wonder if the African brothers and sisters of the PPP/C are taking note of the statement made by their party leader.
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 Trade Union, etc .
Does he think that we are not educated enough to see through the P P P/ C’s 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 to condemn the statement and call upon him to make a public apology to all Guyanese at home and abroad.
I call upon all and every Guyanese to desist from anything that would harm your fellow brothers and sisters: (1.) there are no more street protest (2 ),the Opposition is too smart for them now (3 )so they can’t get people to start rumours and cause confusion in the city streets and business places of this our beloved nation.
