Mr Kissoon would be taken more seriously had he been more prudent in his criticism of public figures

Dear Editor,
Anand Persaud’s letter captioned “Mr Kissoon must ensure that he checks his facts” (08.04.22)  is very disturbing for several reasons. He implied that Mr Freddie Kissoon’s writings are only based on hearsay. I personally do not like Kissoon’s writing style and my perception is that he is an acrimonious fellow.

However, I do believe that many things he has written are valid, and I do salute him for his courageous stance in a potentially politically hostile environment. Yes, indeed, Mr Kissoon would be taken more seriously had he been more prudent in his criticisms of other important figures (in particular Mr Ravi Dev) and the PPP.
