The People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) yesterday joined in mourning the passing of Dr Roger Forbes Luncheon, describing him as a man of “exceptional academic and political brilliance”.
“As can be seen from the many important positions he held, Dr Luncheon achieved an important status in the professional and political life of the nation. The Party has no difficulty in saluting these achievements but is not averse to pointing out that Dr Luncheon was a formidable and, at times, a testing opponent of the Party. In its contest with him, the PNC believed that Dr Luncheon made the wrong political choices but respected the steadfast manner and philosophical tenacity with which he held his views and opinions, especially as it related to the defense of the PPP, even when those policies were soiled by racism and illegality”, the PNCR said.
