–says the law will deal with ‘bravadoes’
Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee, says the PNCR was engaged in acts of political extremism, which he believed might have led to the recent channa-bombing of the Ministry of Culture.
But PNCR spokesman, Aubrey Norton, said the incidents smack of PPP “dirty tricks”, noting that as far he was aware his party was in no way associated with such acts.
The PNCR has upped the ante against the Bharrat Jagdeo administration, threatening to make Carifesta unmanageable, while some of its supporters recently kicked down police barricades and marched at least twice without permission from the authorities.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday at his office, Rohee said there were two sets of extremism; one being the unlawful political protests and the channa bombs that were hurled at the ministry. “There is some coincidence there. The point is that if a statement is made that you are going to make the situation (Carifesta) unmanageable for Caricom, then you are sending a message and a signal. Somebody picked up that ball and ran with it and began engaging in extremist actions. I am positive that if such a statement was never made, nobody would have picked up that ball and run with it,” Rohee said.
