Harmon’s criticism of elections petition ruling not attack on judiciary – Ramjattan

Leader of the Alliance For Change (AFC) Khemraj Ramjattan on Friday maintained that Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon’s response to the dismissal of the second elections petition filed by APNU+AFC was not an attack on the judiciary.

“It should not be regarded as an attack on the judiciary. Freedom of expression is a hallmark of our democracy, too. Respect for the judiciary yes but freedom of expression as well so no need to exploit the statement from the Leader of the Opposition,” Ramjattan said in response to questions from Stabroek News at a virtual news conference.
