yuji22 posted:Bhai, Rai could have stood up to Burnham but he did not like Blacks and it could have caused racial disturbances. He was a bit too arrogant and should have apologised for this behaviour and remarks and could have still been in the PPP. Rai behaved as if he was above Cheddi and it brought his downfall.
Anyone has to be loyal to a party and their time will eventually come to become leader but his impatience got the better of him like Moses, Ramjattan and Ralph etc.
Yuji Bhai, you are wrong on this one. The Police Force disrespected Janet Japan and even refused her order in McKenzie. They did not do this to Rai after he replaced Janet as Minister of Home Affairs. He was widely respected by Blacks and was not arrogant. The entire PPP cabinet and leadership ran away from Georgetown and left Rai alone to take care of the racial disturbances in the country. He saved the Indians and the country of more bloodshed. The Rai I knew then and the Rai I know now would never ever apologize for speaking the truth.
