Decent people of integrity are being sidelined

Dear Editor,

Will Dharamkumar Seeraj be replaced by Nigel Dharamlall at Rice Producers Association? Seeraj, Dr. Vindhya, Dr. Frank Anthony, Dr. Vishwa Mahadeo, and others of integrity are being sidelined. They are all good, decent people who worked extremely hard to combat the electoral fraud of 2020. Yet, they are not favoured by the party leader.

In a free and fair election, they would rank higher, several among the top 10 as opposed to others who occupy those positions. Worse, they have been silenced and marginalized or made ineffective. If they speak out, they are victimized by the leader; others before them like Navin Chandarpal and his wife Indra were victimized as was Dr. Yog Mahadeo and more. The PPP has become a one man operation, an autocracy modeled after Putin. If you don’t cheer the leader, you are not trusted.

If you oppose, you suffer fate meted out to many as in Russia. Clearly, individuals of integrity are not appreciated, welcomed, needed in the PPP. The last decent remnants of integrity have been shunted aside. Honest contractors who gave their all for the PPP have been denied contracts. Washington is taking note; American policymakers have files on the corrupt.

Sincerely,

Roopchand Sharma
