Why don’t they ask Dr. Rupert Roopnarine?
Dear Editor;
I refer to a letter from one Ali Majeed (never met him and not sure if he is real). The source of my letter is the “FINAL REPORT FROM THE CARTER CENTER 1990-1992”, which can be found here.
https://www.cartercenter.org/documents/electionreports/democracy/finalreportguyana1990-1992.pdf
The specific section quoted was Page 115-116. That report specifically cited Matheson Williams as a PPP MP and Bagot Paul as a WPA MP. If Ali Majeed has a problem with the report, he can forward his “fire rage” to the Carter Center in Atlanta.
Also, that Report tagged Joseph Marco DeSouza as a PPP MP from Region 1 (North West). Everyone from that period knows Marco DeSouza was a PPP man in the North West. I stand by my letter since it was research and the research stands to scrutiny.
But what is being exposed is a determined effort is being made by a irrelevant group whose intellectual authors are now using a unique propaganda front to try desperately to revise history using fanciful fiction to give relevance to themselves as political death now face them.
Too many people are discounting the alliance between the TUF and the PPP in 1992 which we all saw evolve over the years. Thus I stand by my original position, that the WPA was not needed to secure a majority for Jagan in 1992.
But these politically dead forces cannot unwind fact and history with figments of their imagination as they try to reinvent themselves. I wonder why these politically dead forces did not request of Dr. Rupert Roopnarine, a senior leader who was in the thick of things, to pen an official position on that period.
