Essequibo rice miller and estate owner, Tamesh Jagmohan, is seeking to clear the air concerning allegations made against him and his company by several rice farmers in Essequibo.
In a release yesterday, Jagmohan referenced what he described as a “series of slanderous and erroneous claims” purportedly being made in sections of the media by a small group of farmers who are claiming that they are being forced off lands belonging to him where they currently cultivate rice. Further, these attacks are alleged to be orchestrated by an unnamed distant relative.
“We have been castigated and vilified as the all-consuming, big establishment which is unfairly pressuring small farmers eking out a livelihood. The group has portrayed themselves as the victims and our company and its principals as the villains.”
