The PPP/C is not a haven for criminals
Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – The Peoples Progressive Party Civic has never been, and will never be a haven or shield for criminal elements. I repeat The PPP/C Party would not be burdened with the baggage of criminals being an appendage to the party. This aspect of the party was proven and tested in the Roger Khan case and now again, in the Azruddin Mohammed situation.
This party has from time to time had the burdensome task in addressing the issue of dubious characters and persons with a criminal history, claiming to be PPP operatives, laying claims that they’ve been facilitated by the party in their criminal enterprise. In this regard, the party has to robustly defend its reputation before a world stage.
In The Roger Khan’s case, he laid claims to have had close connections with The PPP Government; something Jagdeo vehemently denied. The Americans for their part kept Jagdeo under closest scrutiny to ascertain that his denial matched their record of activities with Khan, that he was not an associate of the PPP/C Government. That fact was verified, beyond a shadow of a doubt, to which a clean bill of health was given to the party and by extension to Jagdeo himself.
Azruddin Mohammed falls into the same category of persons like Roger Khan, he being sanctioned by The USA is now frenetically trying to seek cover in the PPP/C Party, his father being a former PPP Central Committee member. Essentially, his request cannot be accommodated because it puts the entire country at risk, being blacklisted and sanctioned.
The fundamental fact is our party and country would not be a pawn to cover Azruddin Mohammed. His running for high office would not shield him from criminal prosecution by the USA Government. Mohammed has to come to the stark realisation that he is the only one who has to work his way out of sanctions, no one else can do it for him. In the meantime, Guyana surges ahead with the PPP/C Party that has a track record of high and noble ideals, unfettered by criminal elements.
Respectfully Submitted,
Neil Adams
