Opposition MPs bowing low for cheap political points and public attention

Dear Editor,
I saw some destructive elements like Hon Ganesh Mahipaul MP, Hon Christopher Jones, MP- Chief Whip, and a few others take to social media in trying to create mischief once again by talking about the disrespect for the colours of our national flag and it is being walked upon at the opening of the Heroes Highway yesterday (Sunday 10 December 2023).
Well, let me make it clear that the painting was a replica of the colours of our national flag and isn’t the national flag placed or flying on the ground.
Citizens painted colours of our national flag on benches and people sit or stand on it, fences and some urine on the fence (remember MP Patterson), t-shirts and jerseys and tear them apart, throw them on the ground or put in the garbage, on bicycles, on vehicles, etc.
During this time of trouble and threats from our western neighbour Venezuela, many of our citizens display our national flag on their houses, on their fences, on their vehicles (and being torn apart by the breeze), on their bicycles and sometimes fall to the ground and being run or walked over by unknowingly, etc.
So, trying to make a mountain out of a mound is stupid, but I understand that PNC will do anything to be in the news. So, it’s difficult to stop them from exposing their senseless behaviour and nasty attitude towards national development.
I guess that those two MPs, along with the entire PNC are very upset that yet again the People’s Progressive Party/Civic Government led by President Irfaan Ali has completed another successful project. While under the previous APNU/AFC the only thing that they could have boasted about as national projects is the unfinished, waste of taxpayers’ monies billion-dollar D’Urban Park, the multi-million-dollar family park in Skeldon that fell apart before completion and the multimillion-dollar kissing bridge in the New Amsterdam Park that is being taken over by bushes almost two weeks after completion.
With that being said, MPs and the others in the PNC, I would like to remind you that it was the PNC that used our National Flag to wrap around the coffin of a well-known criminal and murderer that you guys consider and called a national hero.
I can recall while preparation was taking place for a national event hosted regionally in Region 5, the so-called petroleum adviser in Region 5 pelt the national flag to the ground and used expletives towards the national flag and said it gotta be placed and done the way the PNC wants it to be done or in won’t happen.
Those are just a few of the abuse, disgrace and disrespect shown for our national flag by the PNC.
The colours of our flag are being used and displayed in many ways and we as Guyanese are proud of our national flag and its colours.
Let the progress continue under the People’s Progressive Party Government, so those anti-development persons within the Opposition can continue to show their senseless behaviour and nasty attitude towards national development.

With regards,
Abel Seetaram
