Dear Editor,
The High Commissioner of Canada to Guyana, Ms. Lillian Chatterjee, recently requesting a meeting with Leader of the Opposition, Mr Joseph Harmon, to bid him farewell, but that request was turned down in the most boorish and classless manner for someone of his station.
It shows the class and deportment of Ms Chatterjee that, despite the fact of being physically present and totally aware of who was the mastermind behind the attempted orchestration of rigging the elections when Mingo was doing his three-card trick of disappearing votes, she still rose above the situation and requested as a courtesy to say goodbye to the office of the Leader of the Opposition.
Were it not for the intervention of likeminded persons of the calibre of High Commissioner Ms Chatterjee, who believes that the citizens of all countries have the right to choose their government by periodic elections via secret ballot in a multi-party system through universal and equity suffrage, we definitely would have had a failed state with perpetually rigged elections.
I want to surmise that among the reasons why the Canadian High Commissioner Ms Chatterjee wanted to say farewell to the Leader of the Opposition was to have a last look at someone who was capable of stealing a whole election, and fervently hope that she would never again have to encounter the likes of a similar character for the rest of her diplomatic career.
Yours sincerely,
Reggie Bhagwandin
