Dear Editor,
I ask that you publish my reply to Mr. Kissoon’s column in the Guyana Chroni-cle in relation to Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan and Gandhi Youth Organisation. The Guyana Chronicle has not published the response.
Mr. Kissoon seems to have relied on Google solely for the abovementioned column and the previous one hence the faux pas in his article. That Google article should have added the words Cricket Club to make the article factual and I advise Mr. Kissoon to contact Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan to confirm directly from him that he was only President of the GYO Cricket Club and not the main body (temple ). Mr. Kissoon, for your edification I am the oldest and longest active devotee of the GYO/MGO so I definitely know the facts on this issue and unlike you I do not need to research this.
I reiterate for the benefit of any interested party that the only Ramjattan who was President of the Gandhi Youth Organization (Temple) was Shri Naubat Ramjattan, Khemraj’s uncle. If Mr. Kissoon chooses to base an article only on what is found on Google he runs the risk of misleading readers of his column.
Yours sincerely,
Chris Persaud
