Dr. Frank childhood was difficult. His father was an electrician by profession with Enmore Estate, unfortunately an alcoholic. May nights his mom, two brothers including him had to sleep by my grandparents ( neighbour). He was supported by his mom family morally and financially. He uncle is guitarist Bhim Singh. (mom brother).His ancestors are Tamils ( father side).
Regardless of the difficult childhood, he went on to QC and then did his A levels successfully .While pursuing his studies, he was very active in PYO. I recall after night classes which finish at 9 PM, we will attend PYO training.All of us was thrown into lock ups by PNC tugs for days/ nights, we had to rotate different bottom house meeting to avoid traces. Back in the days, our only mode of transportation was bicycle or walking for miles to assemble point.
At QC, politics plays its part, when they transfer him to St Stanislus, there was student protest. the police block and detain our vehicle on our way to join the protest .
He caught Dr Jagan eyes, when he was asked to introduce Dr J at an Enmore events for the martyrs. He was embrace by Dr Jagan and was told a few words... this was an inspiration for him to assist communities.
I was still in primary school and he will be off to QC everyday. From QC, he will head to FH, did some studies and will meet us for our regular night meeting.He is a very humble and discipline individual, unfortunately, he lost touch with the PPP grass root supporters.
Regardless of his difficult childhood and sacrifice he grows the Enmore PYO, ( back in the days, a children group was launch in Enmore where he took the leadership) he still went on to be successful academically, he then had to leave his family behind to take up his scholarship in Moscow, he also spend about a year or so in Isreal studying. He is the most qualified person to take the PPP leadership, he knows of the PPP struggle, NOT Jagdeo.
Frank is the First Secretary of the PYO.
No one can point a finger at him for any corrupt deals, he held many prestigious position.
