Dear Editor,
In his video declaration on Facebook announcing his run for the presidency, Azruddin Mohamed made a vain attempt to be above politics, above the fray, so to speak. He did this by equating Cheddi Jagan with Forbes Burnham, stating that they did everything to uplift the people and help fulfil their dream.
The truth though, as every Guyanese knows, is that LFS Burnham and the PNC did everything to destroy dreams. Under Burnham and PNC leadership, elections were rigged, the economy was driven into the ground, the state, assisted by party hooligans targeted political opponents, many of whom were beaten up, and others killed. What dreams did Burnham and the PNC foster and bring to reality Azruddin? Name them.
Azruddin Mohamed has begun his campaign with an Original Sin by lying about the record of Burnham and the PNC. That is unforgivable, and that is why his campaign will implode in ignominy.
Sincerely
Dr Randy Persaud
