Dear Editor,
I refer to a letter from Malcolm Harripaul in your Saturday 11th March issue, captioned `With his adherence to Communism Dr Jagan committed political suicide.’
Had I written a letter on the matter it would have been identical to Malcolm’s letter and I am sure that when the history of this country is finally written, it will be recorded very much as Malcolm has written it, and I want to congratulate him.
There is one thing which I would like to tell him however, I have known Joey Jagan since I was a teenager and he never supported his parents’ political beliefs even as a teenager. He has always been supportive of the west and democracy rather than the eastern bloc, the USSR and communism.
Yours faithfully,
Tony Vieira
