Continuing Protest against PPP racist Anil Nandlall in Queens NY

Isn't Ali in Guyana?

His address was virtual. BJ was listed too to draw crowd but he cancelled at the last minute.

Anil Nandlall is the MOST POWERFUL man in the country. The entire Justice System is aware of his influence. Nobody wants to piss him off, and if he gives favor to a person, however, wrong or right the entire justice system is afraid to raise questions.

Only the PNC dares.

But who listens to dem.

They resorting to SHAMING as most of those who raise the question of Indo racism. Shame, shame, shame.

Burke said they put a blackman in DC as Ambassador to show they're not racist.

Sam Hinds prove not to have Black ppl interest to heart. Either he is frustrated with them, selfish or doan know waht is their plight.

What did they get for US$25? That's a lot of money so hopefully they got good food. 

I saw a lady knock down a plate of chow mein before the event started.

$25 dollars for an event like that is more than worth the money, especially; for New York. You have Anil inside, Rickford outside, Guyanese food, drinks and an address by Irfan. 25 dollars is a bargain price

Many of the people at these events make big donations to get hotshot jobs, special favors, etc. Someone sent me a pic of a well-connected girl in glasses sitting on Anil.

In Australia dem would refer to the male crab as "Buck" and the female as "Jenny". I think the Bundari is the biggest crab in Guyana. The smallest one was found in the bank manger's moustache.

Nandlall, Ali assure New York-based Guyanese of “fair and inclusive” governance; opposition supporters restate discrimination

Posted by: Denis Chabrol in News, Politics Saturday, 3 July 2021, 8:37 0 Comments, Last Updated on Saturday, 3 July 2021, 8:45 by Denis Chabrol , Source - https://demerarawaves.com/2021...tate-discrimination/

Opposition lawmaker Maureen Philadelphia makes her point strongly as a man takes her picture while she and others were protesting outside a restaurant in Queens, New York where Attorney General Anil Nandlall was meeting his party’s supporters.

As a small group of opposition supporters protested outside a restaurant in Richmond Hill, Queens, New York about the “installed” People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) administration, Attorney General Anil Nandlall was promising that government will be fair and inclusive as possible.

“We have a duty and we have a responsibility and we are committed to inclusive government,” Mr. Nandlall told party faithful.

The administration in recent days appears to be at pains to assure Guyanese and the international community that there is no discrimination against anyone, there will be inclusive governance and that Guyanese will benefit from the wealth, after two American Congressmen Albio Sires and Hank Johnson had publicly called for these steps to be taken.

Mr. Nandlall, who is a member of his mainly Indo-Guyanese backed People’s Progressive Party’s (PPP) Executive Committee stated categorically that no one would be discriminated against and this has been reflected in all of policies by government ministries. “I want to reiterate our government’s commitment to govern in the fairest and most inclusive manner and we are committed to the ideal that every Guyanese must feel, must actually feel that they have an equal place and that they are entitled to equal opportunities to realise their dreams and their potentials,” he said.

Like Governance Minister Gail Teixeira,  President Irfaan Ali ruled out bilateral political talks with A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance For Change  (APNU+AFC) unless that coalition admits that it lost the March 2, 2020 general and regional elections. “I’m not averse to meeting the main parliamentary opposition. However, it’s designation of my government as illegitimate presents practical obstacles to any such engagement. The parliamentary opposition must understand they have to respect the will of the people, they have to honour the will of the people and in respecting  and honouring the will of the people, they have to respect the government of the day that was elected by the people of the country,” Dr. Ali told the audience virtually.

These two PPP supporters traded accusations of “racist” with APNU+AFC supporters.

He said his administration has been including persons who have the national interest, experience and expertise in managing Guyana. The President said he has also held talks with trade unions, religious organisations and the private sector to benefit from their insights and learn  more about their concerns.

The President restated that the One Guyana Commission would be established as part of efforts to address real and perceived racial problems in Guyana.  “The Guyana that we want is one that is united. In establishing a united Guyana, we will not ignore or avoid addressing the thorny issues of race and inequality. I believe that, yes, we have to deal frontally with these issues,” he said. The President said the Guyanese Diaspora would be consulted by the Commission.

Outside the venue where the meeting was being held, about 30 opposition supporters used loud hailers to vent their anger and frustration at what they termed discrimination against Afro-Guyanese.  Among them was APNU+AFC parliamentarian Maureen Philadelphia who claimed that the real perpetrators have not been charged with the murder of Isaiah and Joel Henry last year September, but four young Afro-Guyanese were earlier this week charged with the murder of 17-year old Haresh Singh.  “We are here to send a clear signal to the PPP racist organisation that we are not afraid, we are not afraid, we are not afraid and we are going to do it again and again,” she said. Ms. Philadelphia said three “vulnerable” persons  have been charged with the murder of the Henry cousins whose bodies were found aback Cotton Tree Village, West Coast Berbice.

The group of APNU+AFC supporters protesting outside a meeting whose speakers included Attorney General Anil Nandlall.

Other protesters sought to link the Attorney General to the shooting death of opposition activist Courtney Crum-Ewing on the eve of the 2015 general and regional elections. Mr. Nandlall has already denied that accusation. “Murderer, murderer, murderer; No justice, no peace; no justice no peace,” they chanted as the Attorney General entered the venue for the meeting.

Ms. Philadelphia and others reiterated that the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) administration was “installed” rather than elected at the March 2, 2020 general and regional elections. “We are not going to surrender. The PPP has been sending subliminal messages and we will not be deterred by those messages…The world knows they were installed, when the world knows they were installed. They are illegal,” she said.

Several lightly armed members of the New York Police stood guard at strategic points outside the venue as the protesters chanted behind barriers.

Not really.  He is quite clever.  I know people who know him as we are from the same part of ECD.  He was observing every restriction imposed by the NYPD and repeatedly mentioned his/their political influence in NYC.  All  dem chupidee people going to the function could do is hurl stupid racist insults as they ran up the stairs of a sad looking restaurant.

Rickford stated that he is forming a Militia to fight the government. This would be the perfect event for us East Indians of Guyana to get our own independent sovereign country.

Where is your militia?

Where will you set up your own independent sovereign country?

What is it that the PPP is not doing for East Indians that you will be able to do for them?

Poor East Indians are paying a price with their blood and it has to stop. The only workable solution is for the country to be split into several independent sovereign countries.
