Dharamlall has no constituency in Region 5.

Dear Editor,

PLEASE allow me to reply to Mr. Dharamlall’s posting on Facebook.

Mr. Editor, I am including in this letter the actual posting of Nigel Dharamlall, and hope that your newspaper would carry my letter in its entirety. It is very sad that some people, who are self-proclaimed politicians and sit in Parliament because of their party structure, can disgrace the entire Parliament and still be praised by their party. The party they represent therefore has no moral standard, nor do they as individuals.

Politicians are people who need support from the grassroots people, so they have to represent them by all means in the best way possible. Even if the politician has to say “Sorry” at times publicly, the politician must do so. But for some, the word “Sorry” is not in their vocabulary, so they do what they want and yet get the support of their party.

Recently, on his Facebook page, Dharamlall posted some nasty remarks towards HE President David Granger. For a person who sits in the highest place — which makes laws that govern the land — to attack the President’s personality, it’s shameless and disgraceful. I would understand if someone attacks the Government by going at the President because of bad policies; that, for me, would be okay, because it’s not an attack on the President himself or on his personality, but on his government.

Nigel Dharamlall has shown no respect for the President on Facebook. He is a disgrace to the people he claims to be representing by doing all sorts of things.Only a few months ago he was under probe for pulling a gun on a man who works for an international organisation. That incident, according to reports, occurred because of some affair that he claimed the man was having with his ‘former’.

This MP claims he is representing the people of Region 5, particularly the areas of Bush Lot, Bath, No.7, Cotton Tree and other areas. But he has been fooled, or maybe he is fooling the people of his party, because he has no support in those areas. People hardly know him. So I truly believe that is why he is trying as hard as possible to make the news. He comes to Region 5 only when there is an election, or whenever his party needs to round up its supporters.

He should be ashamed to say he represents Region Five, because he can hardly represent the village he was born in. He is mostly unwelcomed in that very village. He is not representing anyone, but he is representing his interest.

As an MP, he should be ashamed to attack the President. Mr. Granger has areas that he truly represented before he became President. He has the support of the village he was raised in. He was supported by the people of the region where he lives presently. What does Nigel Dharamlall have?

Nigel Dharamlall’s party seems to be on the same road, because they have only talked about what he did but didn’t sanction him for his abuse towards the President. I call on the leader (don’t want to mention any name, because everybody in the party claims to be the leader) of the party to uphold self-respect and to sanction this MP for his utter nonsense.
