Dear Editor,
I have read with keen interest and saw the malicious and vitriolic attack on Mr. Gobin Harbhajan that is meant to silence him in his fight against corruption. It was perpetrated by officials and other members of the Alliance for Change (AFC).
He would not have been the first AFC member to experience this dirty display of venomous discharge, others were described as ‘rogues’.
However, it is the first time that the AFC has dispensed of any sort of decorum, tact or diplomacy in dealing with members who have dared to expose cronyism and corruption which have infested the party, moreso after the Coalition has assumed office in 2015.
Since then we have seen the exodus of many high ranking members and the disintegration of the AFC’s Canada Chapter all due to the fact that the AFC leaders have miserably failed to live up to their founding principles and their promise to eradicate corruption.
AFC’s Abel Seetaram’s attempt at the Region 6 Agricultutre Expo to besmirch the character of Mr. Harbhajan and to tempt him to act outside of the law failed miserably since the latter has lived up to the expectation of being a dignified politician who refused to ‘pelt stone at every dogs that barked’ at him. He ignored Seetaram much to his (Seetaram’s) ire.
It is also evident that Seetaram is willing to do more than singing for his supper.
This is the same man who was so vociferous in calling for the resignation of the former Minister Mr Clement Rohee.
This personal attack on Harbhajan started a long time ago and much effort was expended by this same group to ensure that Harbhajan did not become a member of the National Executive of the AFC since that would have given him more power to fight corruption.
But they underestimated the tenacity of the man.
The Prime Minister’s Regional Office is an important one in Region 6 and it is the only ray of light through which people can get things done in Region 6 which has become so depressed economically and socially.
The Regional Representative has impartially and objectively carried out his functions, never seeking personal favors and gains.
