Why no protest in a recent incident?

Dear Editor,

It seems that there is a witch-hunt out for Minister Lall in the letter columns.

I dare say the tone of the letters seems to be racist. Not that I condone the minister. He was wrong and should be disciplined.

Why were there no letters or witch-hunt when a very senior PNC minister slapped an employee from Guyana Stores in full view of the public during a protest against the PNC regime at that time ?

We all know who that “born again” minister is.

Come on now fellas.

Yours faithfully,

H Singh

The only free publication that then existed was the Catholic Standard which did report this incident and was sued for damages for libel by the perpetrator.
