Dear Editor,
Craig Sylvester, Party Leader & Presidential Candidate of the Democratic National Congress, in his SN letter, `We urge gov’t to seriously reconsider position and name an election date’, has made excellent observations and suggestions regarding President Granger’s refusal to honour the country’s constitution. In addition to Mr. Sylvester, leaders of other political parties have uttered similar sentiments recently. Lenox Shuman of the Liberty and Justice Party, the ANUG leaders, and Mr. Jagdeo of the PPP are justifiably worried about the obvious defiance of the highest court of the land, as well as the tenets of the constitution by those in power.
These opposition parties must come together and voice their concerns not as individual party contestants, but as one loud voice against the perpetrators who are hell-bent on destroying the rule of law and democracy in the country.
All Guyanese who are concerned about people’s rights and respect should join hearts and hands, and take a stand to stand up against this crass infringement, and be counted. Political parties should put aside their petty differences and come together to fight tyranny. Now is the time! Or else, “too late” would be the cry.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Devanand
