| – calls for sensible political practices The political ‘blame game’ was yesterday played again as the incumbent People’s Progressive Party (PPP) took another swipe at the Opposition for the spate of crimes that currently bedevils the nation.Just last week, the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) came out blaming the opposition for the present crime situation. Then the Alliance for Change (AFC) blamed the PPP for the issue.PPP’s,Wholesale Jerseys, Anil NandlallNot surprisingly, soon after came A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) with a bold statement blaming the PPP for the crime situation. Yesterday’s proceedings at the PPP press conference held at Freedom House, was just another broadside.Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, also a Party Executive Committee Member,China Jersyes Cheap, blamed the opposition for the crime situation and called on the combined body to remove its mask of deception and reveal the real motives behind its so called support for crime.Nandlall in a broad assertion, dubbed both the AFC and APNU criminal parties.He said, “In the war against crime, there are but only two sides. You either stand on the side of the law and the law abiding,Cheap Soccer Jerseys, or you stand on the side of crime and the criminals. The opposition parties have repeatedly chosen the side of the crime and the criminals. We say that this must end now!”As he went on to single out the respective wrongs of the two political parties, Nandlall first dealt with the AFC.The politician said, “Only last week, we heard the AFC restate their bizarre and illogical position, that they will not support any Bill or proposal brought by Minister Clement Rohee to the National Assembly, irrespective of how beneficial it is to Guyana, its people and the security sector, on the basis that they, the AFC, have no confidence in the Minister.”Nandlall opined that such a position is “not only illogical, irresponsible and immature, but it demonstrates clearly, once again, that the opposition is no longer using Parliament to advance the welfare of Guyana and its people but is using it as a forum to settle personal grudges and to orchestrate agendas of vendetta,http://www.theworldsoccersshop.com/Argentina-Diego-Maradona-Jersey.html, even if it is to the detriment of all Guyanese,Cheap China Jerseys Authentic, including their own supporters.”“No matter how effective a particular Bill may be in combatting crime, no matter how potent a crime fighting policy may be, the opposition would reject it because Clement Rohee is the Home Affairs Minister! How political leaders can reduce the nation’s security and the safety of the Guyanese people to such childish games is, indeed, incomprehensible.“Is it against this backdrop, that one must view Mr. Ramjattan’s statement that he will bring back the Firearms Bill to the National Assembly. It is obvious that they recognize the importance of this Bill. Yet they rejected it! Why? Because they did not like the Minister who tabled it. The citizens of this country were, therefore, denied the protection of this law, the law enforcement agencies of the land were denied the use of this law as a crime fighting measure, because of the opposition’s capricious and whimsical dislike of the Minister who tabled it. “Nandlall also linked the People’s National Congress (PNC) to several criminal acts that occurred in the past. PNC is the main player in what we now know as APNU. Nandlall used that to justify APNU’s non support towards certain key Bills to address crime. The politician suggested that APNU is protecting the criminals.Nandlall made a call for “Guyanese to rise up and say to the Opposition,NCAA Football Jerseys, loud and clear, that the one seat majority, which they hold in the National Assembly, is held at the people’s pleasure and must be at all times be used for and in the best interest of all Guyanese and not at the fancy and caprice of personal likes and dislikes of the opposition.” |
