Ralph Ramkarran responds to Peeping Tom

Aug 11, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

I refer to Peeping Tom’s article “Janet outfoxed them all” in your edition of August 7. Peeping Tom’s ludicrous analysis that Mrs. Jagan’s nomination of me as the presidential candidate in 1997 was for the objective of exposing the ambitious does not stand scrutiny, unless it was to expose and discipline the ambitious. No one was disciplined. The ambitious thrived after Mrs. Jagan’s presidency.

Peeping Tom’s plot thickens, and descends into the ridiculous, when he/she suggests that Roger Luncheon was in on Mrs. Jagan’s strategy. Peeping Tom may not recall that Luncheon was also among the ambitious. I wrote some time ago that Henry Jeffrey proposed to Luncheon a Ramkarran/Luncheon ticket for the 1997 elections. Luncheon rejected it and suggested a Luncheon/Ramkarran ticket. This was publicly admitted by Luncheon. Therefore, Luncheon was a self-confessed ambitious aspirant to the presidency. It is left to the imagination the contortions Luncheon would have had to adopt to join Mrs. Jagan’s alleged scheme.

Why would Mrs. Jagan go to the lengths suggested by Peeping Tom when she had the unanimous support of the leadership of the PPP and, in addition, was armed with a letter from Cheddi Jagan?
