DEAR EDITOR,
Your edition of July 13 carried a letter from Mr. Emile Mervin in which he stated that I had said that “after Mrs. Jagan returned from the United States following the death of her husband in 1997, she told the PPP hierarchy that Dr. Jagan wanted Dr. Roger Luncheon to take over the reins of Government only to be stoutly resisted by certain elements in the PPP executive.”
I never said any such thing at any time and that did not happen.
I had merely said that in 1997 Dr. Luncheon had expressed an interest in being the presidential candidate and had rejected a Ramkarran/Luncheon ticket, insisting instead on a Luncheon/Ramkarran ticket.
At a subsequent press conference Dr. Luncheon confirmed his interest in the presidency in 1997.
Ralph Ramkarran
