Distorting history

Jun 03, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
It seems as though the PPP does not know when to call it a day. It is still in campaign mode.
I decided to attend the Flag raising ceremony which was planned long before  the elections, and which was billed to be held in St. Ignatius.
To say that the programme was poor would be a gross understatement, but when the ex Vice Chairman gave his address then all the mediocrity was on full display.
Imagine, in the presence of school children, who were smartly attired in their uniforms, the hopeless gentleman informed those present that Mr. Jagan was at the centre of the Independence struggle and was ably assisted by the likes of Peter D”Aguiar and Stephen Campbell, but Mr. Burnham was presented with the Instrument of Independence.
At this point there was no holding back the crowd. Chants of Granger reverberated around the venue thus making it impossible for the hapless, now embarrassed ex Vice chairman to complete his speech.
The flag was hastily hoisted and the crowd dispersed.
My hope is that the children present at that apology of a flag raising cremony do not take what they heard as gospel, and that the Education system will do all to correct this gross piece of misinformation.
Carl Parker
