Dear Editor,
I watched the videos of the picketing exercise against our Attorney General Anil Nandlall in New York via social media with great embarrassment and was wondering what’s the reason of such? Watching the videos, I could not comprehend the reason for this sort of behaviour in another country and wondered what the architects of such exercise are hoping to achieve.
Editor, Guyana has a history of saying they are holding a peaceful protest and at the end of the day, people are being robbed, injured, molested, and discriminated against. Given the history of such behaviour, I’m at a loss as to why the authorities in New York would allow such actions. They have allegations against them in their own countries, they are not coming to defend their character, but in another country, are trying to create mischief? Presumably, the main architect of that embarrassing scene in New York has a lot of allegations against him in Guyana and when pointed out to him, he started attacking those differently, getting personal. Why he is not coming here to defend his name boggles my mind, but he chooses to publicly pretend to be representing Guyana when Guyanese are hoping to see if he’s genuine. It’s time authorities instil rules against such madness. If you have a problem with what’s happening in your country, come into your country and protest. Don’t cause embarrassment in another country. If you have an interest in your country, come and live here and fight for changes.
Sincerely,
Sahadeo Bates
