APNU+AFC accuses PPP/C of sponsoring terror

A Partnership for National Unity and Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) coalition yesterday said that it is in receipt of information to the effect that the incumbent People’s Progressive Party is sponsoring terror. The coalition said that it knows of “persons who have been paid by the PPP/C to pose as APNU+AFC supporters and to intimidate Indo-Guyanese.” The political coalition forthrightly condemned what it described as a “vile and utterly reprehensible tactic by the desperate PPP/C to engender ethnic mistrust amongst our people.” APNU+AFC sought to make it clear that such provocation and intimidation are intended to benefit the PPP/C. The Coalition stands to derive no benefit whatsoever from it.   “The Coalition will never engage in these gutter tactics, which are synonymous with the fear mongering and hate campaign being run by the PPP/C.” Further, the coalition stated, “In addition, in one isolated case, APNU+AFC condemns the acts of some supporters who have been over-exuberant in their rejection of the PPP/C during one of their public meetings. “APNU+AFC further understands that some communities have been so marginalized and victimized by the PPP/C regime that the residents do not wish to be subjected to the vitriol and lies of the shamelessly partisan PPP/C campaign. “The Coalition further believes that the PPP/C is very cognizant of this and is deliberately going into some of these communities, such as Warlock, to incite the residents and cause confrontation for cheap political mileage.”
