The PPP/C continues to engage workers across the country to discuss sugar’s future, but will not initiate any protests, though it will support such moves, Leader Bharat Jagdeo has said.

“We are not organizing the sugar workers’ protest… We hope that they will… because the party will support them as we supported… other protest actions. I urge them to show their displeasure,” Jagdeo told Stabroek News yesterday.

He said while the party was very concerned about events such as the stoppage of fertilizing works in some sugar cane fields, which the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) complained about yesterday, he would not want to organize protests lest the issue became political instead of industrial.

Armed conflicts??  Moderators what's up here?

I re read Jagdeo's statements and I saw no evidence that any one was planning an armed insurrection. Folks should stop trying to throw a lit match on dry grass.

Even Jagdeo knows that if the sugar workers initiate violence it will be dealt with and he doesn't have the means to protect them. The Phantoms stopped working for him long ago.

Phantoms were working for a consortium of concerned business persons, not Jagdeo. These same business people can pull the trigger again if push comes to shove.

Your reply should be directed to Mr.T, he is an internet TROLL.

Well you did not read it well enough, did you? It clearly states that the PPP has aided and funded other "protest" actions. Even the PPP supporters have frequently called for the Phantoms to be mobilized again.
