PPP sees call for shut down of Linden as an attempt to wreak havoc
The People’s Progressive Party takes note of efforts by the Opposition to instigate a “shut down” of Linden today, through a protest. on Saturday January 25, 2014.
The PPP believes such a call by the Opposition, through its henchman Sharma Solomon, is nothing short of an attempt to wreak havoc, sow seeds of discord and promote an economic sabotage of the people of Linden, and should be condemned by Lindeners, and more so all Guyanese, forthwith. A PPP statement last evenin said, “While we have always been an advocate for rights of Guyanese to protest, we are cognizant that this recent call by Solomon to re-open the wounds of Linden is only to fulfill the narrow political agenda of his “bosses” in the Opposition. “One must not lose sight of what took place in Linden in July of 2012, when the lives of three of our citizens were lost, public and private property arsoned, citizens beaten and robbed, a tragedy the community is still trying to overcome. “We view what is being instigated by the Opposition as purely confrontational politics, since the so-called shut down is planned for the very day our party’s Region 10 headquarters is being commissioned “The irresponsible call by Solomon, who should be a leader in his community and work towards its development, will have dire economic and social impact on the lives of our brothers and sisters in Linden and should not be supported by right thinking Lindeners. “Again, we urge our brothers and sisters of Linden not to be used by these irresponsible politicians, whose only aim is to fulfill their narrow political agenda of reversing Guyana’s developmental gains.”
