No country will tolerate any person who refuses to abide by the will of the majority

Dear Editor,
I have enjoyed reading the analyses of your Mr Kissoon as he tries desperately to frame in layman’s terms his take on what is taking place. To fully understand our local situation, we must first go back to the roaring sixties when the PPP governed and later demitted office. During the period 1962 through 1964 there was much PPP generated strife. So much so that civil commotion prevailed for much of that period.
The immigrant people or those who came from India were fed with a staple diet of their supremacy over the resident African extracted demographic. The utterances of Aphaan Jhaat were no mere coincidence. This was a battle cry of sorts. No Indian worthy of his heritage was to cross the racial threshold and embrace any other politically. This became entrenched PPP policy since at the time the majority of the people being addressed were semi-literate. But times have changed. More and more Indians have taken educational pursuits as is evidenced by the current UG population.
Indians have benefitted from Mr Burnham’s policies more than any other people. The Corentyne was developed after the banning of some commodities. It became the smuggling capital of the world as it were.
The PNC was not overtly or covertly involved in mass removals/assassinations of our peoples. It is one thing to talk of who and who was killed, but whenever people overtly or covertly take up arms against a sitting government they cannot expect that administration to sit back and welcome them. Such is the order of the world. There were cases of discrimination, refusal of employment, favoritism and so on. The PPP were more blatant where the above was concerned.
As Vice President of the Building Forum, I once attended a meeting along with others at the Office of the President concerning the procurement bill. On entering the room, Dr Jagdeo made it pellucid that he was not going to change one iota of the legislation. He was not going to enact the Commission that was required to administer the Act. The man’s dismissive attitude was most unwelcome. I have attended meetings with Burnham and Hoyte and was never treated in such manner.
Those who root for the PPP (and I mean the likes of Askarananda, Shah et al) only do so because they verily believe that they will never accept being governed by any others than their own. But they must now face reality or leave the country. No country will tolerate any person who refuses to abide by the will of the majority.
A time of change is coming and the corresponding tsunami must take away all those who refuse to accept and work with this change. If we call on the PNC to apologize then we must call on the PPP (more so) to do the same. Only recently it came out in a Brooklyn court that in excess of 400 persons were killed at the instigation of the PPP and its hired gun Roger Shaheed Khan. Despite rabid denials, the manufacturers of the spy-tracking equipment stated at that trial that they sold the equipment to a sitting minister of government as would be the norm. The equipment was never sold to private individuals as per USA federal regulations.
The days of progress are coming and with the forging of greater racial cohesiveness greater and cleaner development will come. Long live Guyana.
