Dear Editor,
Here we go again, Ravi Dev’s quoting USA officials who, over the years, made comments on President Cheddi’s ideological positions all the while undermining leaders from the Third World, even to the extent of assassinating some of them. Does Ravi Dev understand the devious methods which US officials took to kill Patrice Lumumba of the Congo and Salvador Allende of Chile? He should read the book “The Lumumba Plot – The secret History of the CIA and a Cold War Assassination” by Stuart A. Reid.
Dev joins the likes of Vishnu Bisram and others to undermine the central role of Jagan in Guyana’s politics. Jagan was sincere, honest, humble and totally dedicated to the welfare of the Guyanese people, regardless of race, religion or class and Dev knows that. Today, Dev has become a “stage handler” for the present PPP government. President Cheddi was a Marxist and proud of it – so what! US officials lied, falsified and connived against Jagan over the years and Dev knows that!
Editor, the mischief Dev’s intentions allay, in quoting USA officials on President Cheddi’s political positions, shows up when he quotes a statement that intellectually, Janet Jagan was superior to President Cheddi – that was very deliberate. On Jagan’s death anniversary, Ravi Dev should be ashamed of himself for quoting such lies and nonsense. God bless you Dad, and rest in eternal peace – your name and spirit will never die in the hearts of the Guyanese people despite defamation by Dev.
Sincerely,
Cheddi (Joey) Jagan (Jr.)
