Dear Editor,
The Indian Action Committee (IAC) has noted the response by Lincoln Lewis (SN and GC, August 13) to the organisation’s letter to the editor regarding President Granger’s statement and the proposed establishment of the communal Lands Commission which is supposed “to rectify the anomalies and resolve the controversies which, up to now, surround thousands of hectares of communal lands which were purchased in the Post- Emancipation village movement. “
The IAC will not be intimidated by this type of baseless attack and will not dignify the false assertions made by Lincoln Lewis with a response. It seems as if the IAC has no right to query and articulate the concerns of its constituents as the organisation attempts to seek clarification on the legality of this proposed communal Lands Commission.
The IAC will not be silenced or intimidated.
Yours faithfully,
Saira Alli
Secretary,
Indian Action Committee
