It is unpatriotic to cultivate division in disciplined services

Dear Editor,
Lelon Saul complains that many of his friends are abandoning him. While he may be baffled, the average citizen on the street would have no problem determining that Saul’s claims of oppression are so ridiculous that people do not want to be associated with him.
The truth is, no one wants to be connected to a man who appears to be actively cultivating division in the disciplined services. Lelon Saul should know better. When you serve in the military, you have a lifelong obligation to defend the institutions that are tasked with the nation’s national security. To do otherwise is patently unpatriotic.
Saul has every right to support the political party of his choice. That is a fundamental right when you live in a democratic society. But he must know that the PNCR-led APNU is indeed the party with the sordid record of rigged elections, assassinations, catastrophic economic performances, nepotism, and an amalgam of depravations that were placed on the backs of the hard-working Guyanese people.
Former friends of Lelon Saul have done the right thing. That is a good indicator of the change that is occurring in Guyana.

Yours Sincerely,
Dr Randy Persaud
