PPP/C hauls Ramjattan before ERC for racially incendiary remarks

The Peoples Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) has lodged a complaint with the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) against APNU/AFC’s Prime Ministerial Candidate Khemraj Ramjattan over racially incendiary remarks he recently made during a television programme broadcast in Trinidad and Tobago.

The complaint was filed by PPP/C’s Executive Member Anil Nandlall.

According to the letter of complaint, Ramjattan’s remarks are “capable of inciting racial hostilities amongst the people of Guyana, in particular between Indo and Afro Guyanese…”

See full letter of complaint below:

RE: Complaint against Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan

The PPP/C hereby lodges a complaint against Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan. Mr. Ramjattan, speaking on a live television program titled Morning Edition, broadcast on CCN TV6 in Trinidad and Tobago, today, June 2, 2020, published the following words:
“Black People can’t run oil money you have to have East Indians doing that”

Mr. Ramjattan alleged that these words were part of political advertisements published in Guyana.

It is clear that these words were intended and are capable of inciting racial hostilities amongst the people of Guyana, in particular between Indo and Afro Guyanese, may constitute an offence under the Racial Hostility Act, Chapter 23:01, Laws of Guyana, and are not protected by Article 146 of the Constitution of Guyana which guarantees freedom of expression and free speech, excepting, inter alia, “expressions, in whatever form, capable of exciting hostility against any person or class of persons.”

In the circumstances, we request that the Commission launches an investigation of this complaint and take such actions that it considers necessary and appropriate against Mr. Ramjattan, immediately.

The ERC may not do anything about Ramjattan. I noticed they went after all the Indian racists and leave Afros that have committed the same or worse towards the PPP government.

“Black People can’t run oil money you have to have East Indians doing that”

The PPP would have never used "can't run oil money". Ramjat wants to be Prime Minister and his usage of the English Language is terrible.

Guess Nandlall complaining about Ramjattan telling the truth.  That AfroGuyanese are incapable of running businesses is something that IndoGuyanese falsely believe.  They repeat it in many different ways .  Don't believe me?  Do a search of the archives of this forum and see how many times you find words to the effect that "black people can't run cake shap".

What the Posters said on this Forum is not binding on the PPP.  They are not responsible for your ignorance. But Ramjattan is responsible for his own rhetorics. Very soon he will deny that he didn't say “Black People can’t run oil money you have to have East Indians doing that”.

What truth? Ramjattan can’t handle the truth. Did you listen to his concession speech? Those were golden words.  He even pacified his listeners and told them it’s not the end of the world to lose an election.

Aren't you tired of writing crap?  Any ignorance on display here is yours.  Now go and check the archives.

Irrelevant!  Your response has nothing to do with my post.  Have you started to celebrate the 4th already?

They said that the PNC cannot run a cake shop (note the spelling) how can they run a country?  You don't have to be angry because we tell the truth.

Thanks for confirming what I mentioned.  You have told the truth that IndoGuyanese falsely believe that Black people lack management skills.  This is what Ramjattan was telling Fazeer Mohammed.  BTW, Fazeer Mohammed in reference to Kamla Persad-Bissessar once said words to the effect that from a religious perspective he can't see women in leadership positions.

It is not my fault if your comprehension skills are lacking.  I would offer to help you but it is too late for you.  Maybe you should go for your walk--it may clear your head and you will see the light.  Back to the topic:  Ramjattan tell Fazeer that coolie people a Guyana believe that black people can't run cake shap.  Me say that nuff people on this forum write de same ting.  An me say dat coolie parents teach dem pikney de same ting.  Me know because me a wan coolie an me grow up wid coolie on the north, south, east west.  Me a tell lie?  Ramjattan a tell lie?

Talking about comprehension skills? You have ten inconsistencies in the above posting.

@Ramakant-P: Me know because me a wan coolie an me grow up wid coolie on the north, south, east west.  Me a tell lie?  Ramjattan a tell lie?  

Does this statement sound like a coolie writing?
