Dear Editor,
I refer to Mr. Annan Boodram’s letter (“The only way Bisram’s findings can be disregarded is on the basis of his track record”), SN, August 24.
Mr. Boodram wants me to disclose my source that researched Bisram in New York and couldn’t locate him as a teacher. This is funny.
If Mr. Bisram had told us where he worked I would not have needed a New York contact to research him.
He could still do that and bring the mystery of his so-called teaching life to a conclusion. I will get a New York contact to verify the information he supplies on the existence NACTA and his place of employment
Secondly, Mr. Boodram says because Freddie Kissoon says Bisram is not a teacher, so he, Bisram is not a teacher.
Why should anyone believe Bisram when for all his life he says he has been a teacher but when asked to outline his teaching status he goes back 30 years in his life and tell us he’s been to Corentyne High School with Khemraj Ramjatttan.
Mr. Boodram, Mr. Bisram and Ravi Dev know that there is no such thing as NACTA. I know the type of personality that people like Boodram and Dev typify. Once there was an organisation named NACTA with some Dr.
This or Dr. That as the Chairman, and Mrs. This or Mrs. That as the General-Secretary and that NACTA is prominent in fund-raising, charity work, educational tasks and research engagements and could be contacted at its office on Liberty Avenue, then they would have shouted it out from the rooftop.
Both Dev and Boodram are psychiatrists because they both have pronounced on the state of my mental health.
Boodram once wrote in this newspaper that I am suffering from paranoia. (August 21, 08) If Boodram wants to know who in fact has been afflicted with paranoia he doesn’t have to look far
It is this same Boodram who, when confronted with Bisram’s own letter on how much he travels and how many countries he conducts polls in, wrote that Bisram makes up for the sessions he is absent from school by teaching during recess (I guess he means the summer).
So all of Bisram’s students who miss his class while he parades around the world, will have no holiday but will have to return for the summer just for Bisram to make up for the sessions he missed.
Annan Boodram was a student of mine a UG, and he should tell us how many of his teachers at UG were globe trotting while he was a student at that institution.
The more Bisram and his friends including Boodram and Ravi Dev put pen on paper, the less convincing they are about exactly who is Vishnu Bisram and what he does in life. Mr. Bisram has finally run into problems with many high names in the Caribbean. He was the subject of discussion at an OAS meeting where he was singled out as a fake pollster. Guyana’s Parliamentarian, Sheila Holder was at that meeting so media personnel in Guyana can contact her for what was said about Bisram at that OAS conference.
Finally, I am convinced that Boodram does not read the nonsense Bisram writes. Bisram openly wrote last week in the Kaieteur News that he is the highest paid teacher in New York, not one of but the highest.
Let me close by saying easy, not onerous, journalistic investigation would prove that there is no polling organisation anywhere in the world by the name of NACTA and there is no high school anywhere in New York that has a teacher on its permanent staff by the name of Vishu Bisram. Mr. Bisram, Mr. Boodram and Ravi Dev have their agenda when it comes to ethnic politics in Guyana and Trinidad.
We here in Guyana that have no American passport or American green card and who have to visit Guyanese hospitals and Guyanese doctors when we are sick should not allow Bisram, Boodram and Dev to manipulate the politics of this land. I will respond to this trio each and every time they seek to hoodwink the Guyanese readers
Mr. Boodram is so arrogant and overbearing that he penned another letter (Kaieteur News, August 28), shouting out that he knows where Boodram works, lives, where NACTA is located and who its executives are.
We are supposed to beg Boodram to give us details. But we know Boodram would never.
This is to supplement what Dev has told us about how many Masters Degrees Bisram possesses but not Masters in what?
Can you guess? Finally, Bisram wants Parliamentarian, Sheila Holder to answer some questions about an OAS meeting in which his fictional polls were exposed.
I would advise Mrs. Holder to demand Bisram answer some questions first – which school in New York he works at; where is NACTA located; give the names of its executives
Frederick Kissoon
Please share this to every Guyanese including your house cats.
