Dignified way we carry out our business here

Dear Editor,
Last Wednesday, the Opposition PPP/C and its members were out exercising their first amendment rights in peaceful protest. That protest was conducted first on the streets, then in a classic display in the Parliament chambers itself. It was a people’s protest. We, the people were showing this Government of sorts, that we would not be bullied into acceptance of a blatant violation of our Constitution. We, the people are standing up for our rights, we are showing the Granger Government that bullyism and a disregard for the democratic norms that govern society would not be tolerated. And I am glad that it was done before the watchful eyes of the international community, in the presence of the USA Ambassador in particular? And Mr Ambassador there were no channa bombs, no shooting or looting, no killings, Georgetown was not a towering inferno. We had none of that! The International Community by verbal note needs to report to their respective jurisdictions the dignified way we carry out our business here. I rest my case.
Now, I will pause here to address a few of the local spin doctors who saw this exercise as disrespect to the president? Oh please! Why throw the blame over on our side, please address the issue at stake here, and don’t hide your head in the sand like an ostrich. President Granger has shown total disregard for law and order, he has thrown down all the established norms that govern society.
So, The Granger Administration is having a serious problem on their hand and will continue to have the uphill task of stemming the democratic fervour that has been engraved in the psyche of this nation. Mr President, you have a very daunting task ahead of you, I wish you well.

Respectfully,
Neil Adams
