Dear Editor,
The present situation in Guyana is of much concern to Guyanese more so to the PPP/C former government officials, the party support base and respected persons who criticised the APNU/AFC coalition government.
The disrespecting and humiliation of two distinguish gentlemen who serve their country with distinction Dr. Ashni Singh and Mr Winston Brassington is clear evidence that the government is losing support and as such they are showing signs of desperation by using methods to appease and clinched on to their supporters who are very much upset about their FAILURE in Government after three years.
This situation reminds me of an article in the Washington Post News by Lewis Simons dated October 4th 1977 title “Indira Gandhi arrested in India “. It is a true reflection of what is transpiring presently in Guyana.
The arrest was described as a political one by Indira Gandhi because trips and political meetings by Gandhi was receiving enthusiastic turnouts in various parts of India. The Prime Minister Morarji Desai ordered her arrest thinking that he would have satisfied widespread plaudits.
But unfortunately the Prime Minister Desai lost the next elections to Indira Gandhi. This is actually happening presently. Cde Bharrat Jagdeo and the PPP are getting favourable response in every corner of Guyana and as such can be faced with more victimisation to create fear among supporters in trying to derail a sure victory for the PPP.
These incidents are not about Corruption. It is a clear sign of political discrimination against the PPP hoping that this will enable APNU/AFC to win the majority in the General Election in 2020 .The PPP is strong enough to withstand any amount of political pressure and fear from APNU/AFC.
Don’t allow this disease of political victimisation to silence us because Democracy will surely die in this darkness.
Yours Sincerely
Zamal Hussain
