Dear Editor,
Notice has been taken of the involvement by the opposition parties and show of solidarity against the government’s draconian penalty towards Mr Sharma’s television (CNS 6). The government’s action has dire implications and the show of solidarity by the people, political parties and other groups must be commended. I join those condemning the government’s decision and do feel the decision is not only an attempt to discipline Mr Sharma but also an attempt to cripple him economically, steal the expertise of his staff and silence the voice of dissent. That said there is a growing and loud concern about the type of leadership offered by PNC leader, Mr Robert Corbin, and AFC leader, Mr Raphael Trotman.
While it is heartening to see Messrs. Corbin and Trotman’s involvement in the marches and petition for press freedom many wonder about the marches and petition yet to be held for their supporters’ freedom.
