‘It was an attack against all women’ -says doctor who was criticized over weight

March 14, 2013 · By Staff Writer · 12 Comments Next Article »

Dr. Vishalya Sharma has broken her silence over the disparaging remarks made by Alliance For Change member, Charrandass Persaud about her weight saying it was not just an attack on her but on all women.

At an appreciation ceremony held by the Berbice Regional Health Authority (BRHA), in observance of International Women’s Day, Dr. Sharma said: “What everyone perceived as an attack on me was seen as an attack on us as a united body; women.”

She said too, “I am extremely humbled by the statements and the support given by everyone,including the Regional Health Authority, the RDC, the Arya Samaj Movement, the Domestic Violence Counseling Centre, the Women’s Progressive Organization and various youth groups and women’s groups across the country.”

Persaud, a lawyer, had made comments about Dr. Sharma’s weight while representing the cause of another woman; Tirtawattie Shoandeo, 47, of Whim Village, Corentyne, who died following a blackout on January 20 at the New Amsterdam Hospital. At the time of the blackout she was undergoing surgery. She died hours later.

Dr. Vishalya Sharma

Persaud has since apologised for being “out of line” and said he “intended to focus on the administration of the New Amsterdam Hospital…”

He said he “inadvertently compared her duty at the hospital with her size. My intention was not to defame her because of her size. I have a lot of oversized friends.”

Without dwelling much on the issue, Dr. Sharma said she was surprised at the support she got and that it “further strengthened her love and commitment to our beautiful country.”

She mentioned the silent supporters and activists and also singled out members of the hospital staff for publicly condemning the remarks on television.

She said it was not easy to see the issue raised in the media every day, especially during the period in her life when she was mourning the death of her father.

“To my fellow women, I would proudly say that we all stand united to support each other… As the events unfolded, I can now say I am proud because of what everyone close to me as a united group, has achieved.”

According to Dr. Sharma, “History has taught us that nothing is unachievable” and remarked on the achievements of international women, including those who fought in wars.

She said they were all simple women who made their mark and also remembered contributions from local women including Desiree Bernard and Janet Jagan.

“The laws of Guyana, thanks to our constitution, give women the rights that they deserve. We demand the respect that is due to us as citizens of this beautiful land.”

“Our leaders have brought us a far way and women are now recognized as leaders… I feel proud to say these words; I am a woman because it conveys a strong message…”

Dr. Sharma said she belongs to the Himalayan tradition that taught her to live her life “according to the teachings of my religion and my family traditions.”

She said proudly that she has learnt to love and take pride in “serving humanity and would continue to do so with all my love dedication and the noblest intention despite what happened around me.”

There are some things that are more bad than some. The bamboo wedding and the two suicides were much worse events.

Now you are a Brahmin....well. Please inform us how this PPP regime with its acute hypersensitivity to issuee neglects the Sexual Offences act languishes in the OP awaiting attention. Why is it the official glad rag and scumdogs like you have not mentioned even one time the atrocious beating we saw of an amerindian woman and her child by an agent of the state?

You folks are as fake as a 3 dollar bill and it is transparent to all except your PPP sheep. You cannot gain a nickle of political currency from trying to convince us that telling a woman in charge of a health facility that she is encumbered by being fat is so out of line to be deemed an national tragedy. Get real punks.

That lady is fat and the Amerindian woman was mercilessly beaten and her child suffered a fractured leg at the hands of the police. We saw it on video. Take your pick where the national tragedy exists. Sorry, as tactless as the act of upsetting her by telling her a truth, fat lady loses.

Go and fornicate yourself. CHarandas had the decency to apologised. Did Jagdeo apologise for the way he treated Varsnee. Do you want to tell us about your involvement with the young ladies who commited suicides?

Why don't you comment on the high number of cases of brutality against women that are habitual practiced against Guyanese women! But what would you care since you are here almost daily disrespecting your wife in celebrating your supposedly numerous sexual escapades.

Again where was your indignation against the Police for brutally beating a native woman and her sons as at least a dozen of his associates watch without even a sense he was doing wrong. Note the Minister of Amerindian Affairs has not even once opened her mouth, not has the party communications officer or any in the PPP. Actually, there is a black out on their press!

Yet daily those creeps are all across social media, and on the News lamenting the " gross assault on women" because an intemperate gentleman called a fat woman fat!

You piece of filth! were you concerned with women you would be complaining on the brutality agaist the Amerind woman and her child that we all saw and understand was nakedly oppressive, contemptuous of the lady's rights and truly offensive with respect to treatment to a woman ( not to mention her child).

But nasty news crew in the PPP to which you belong has noting to say. Yet you are trying to sell to us the idea that it is so injurious to woman because a gentleman called a fat woman fat...cyar your disgusting behind somewhere else. What is offensive is you should try to sell that for a political nickle when you would get a dollar if you did the right thing and seek after justice for our women in general.
