Dear Editor,
It is the “same old PNC with all their bullying deception,” those were the words coming from a friend of mine recently; and, sadly, I concurred. The reason that I agreed with the statement made by the brother is for the simple reason that the PNC never apologised for their crude and senseless honouring of a convicted terrorist.
All that the party did was to issue a statement that the offended parties have “misinterpreted” what they did in Parliament. In a cool and calculated response, the PNC General Secretary said, “The Guyana Government has expressed regret at the US’ misinterpretation of the resolution.”
A misinterpretation! That is utter hogwash! What is there to misinterpret in honouring a convicted criminal? A terrorist is a mass murderer, and that is the person the PNC chose to honour. It shows how base Amna Ally and her party is in the treatment of the whole matter. To honour a convicted terrorist is serious business, and speaking in such routine tones of a “misinterpretation” makes it even worse.
It all goes to show the lack of respect, not only for the superpowers, but the callous regard for the hundreds, even thousands, of lives that would have been lost through terrorist activities. This is the horrible place the PNC has brought our country into.
My call to the ABC countries is to put some pressure on this de-facto Government; they need to up the ante on this regime. The ABC countries need to blacklist members of this PNC Government and immediately commence the revocation of visas. It is the only way to send a clear, unequivocal message to this misfit of a Government. The PNC-led Coalition must be taught the lesson of life– that undemocratic, cold-hearted, spiteful regimes that support mass murderers would not be tolerated. I call on the ABC countries to act with immediate haste.
