Dear Editor,With respect to the letters by Vassan Ramracha SN, March, 18, and Leyland Roopnarine on March 19, I cannot speak for Stabroek News, but I find it offensive that the same retrograde  mentality has surfaced again, clothing itself with the façade of  “perpetual victim” when found wanting.

Dear Editor, Mr Anil Nandlall was one of the principal speakers when the National Assembly debated the end of provisions in the age-old law Title to Land (Prescription and Limitation) Act which allowed a person who has, without permission, occupied state land for more than thirty years to approach the court to grant title to that land.
