…But Ramotar insists no such thing occurred under its watch When it comes to addressing the issue of State violence, University Professor, Dr. David Hinds says that the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has a lot to answer for.The columnist recently lashed out at the political opposition in his recent writings after noting comments made in the past few weeks by the PPP Executive members on the findings of the Walter Rodney COI Report.Dr. Hinds found it quite hypocritical that the PPP would even see the said report as a victory when it has its own skeletons to answer for.The political activist said that the PPP’s record in government when it comes to state-directed political violence against known opponents and citizens mostly of one ethnic group stinks to high places.“Yet it pretends that Walter Rodney’s assassination must be treated separately. This is an insult to the memory of the very Rodney they claim to defend. I maintain that Rodney’s assassination is linked to those carried out under the PPP’s watch,” stated Dr. Hinds.He added that while the circumstances may differ, at the end of the day, murder at the hands of the government and State is still murder. From Donna McKinnon who was killed by a bullet that allegedly came from Freedom House, the PPP’s headquarters,Wholesale China NFL Jerseys, to the murder of Crum Ewing, he stressed that the “PPP has a lot to answer for.”He hopes that this would be done sooner rather than later.Speaking with Kaieteur News yesterday, former President Donald Ramotar said that he is disappointed in Dr. Hinds and his comments on the issue of State violence.Opposition Leader,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, Bharrat JagdeoFormer President,China Jerseys Cheap, Donald Ramotar“I want to make it clear that the PPP was never involved in any State violence and had nothing to gain from that.

He has now become a PNC lover. And therefore to make them look good he has to cast aspersions upon the PPP.”The PPP Executive Member said,Cheap NFL Authentic Jerseys, too, that “unlike the PNC,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, the PPP could withstand any COI into its 23 year rule without fear, knowing that not a single thread of evidence would be found to suggest that it is guilty of state violence.”Ramotar just a few days ago commented on the findings of the report and the treatment of the COI by the Coalition government. He recalled that the Commission had the mandate to identify those responsible for Rodney’s murder.Ramotar said that as is well known, Walter Rodney was one of Guyana’s most renowned scholars and revolutionists.
