Dear Editor,

Mr Robert Corbin, Leader of the PNCR and the opposition has called not only on Minister Ronald Gajraj but on the government to resign. He cited the examples of himself and other Ministers in PNC governments who resigned after allegations were made.

The most serious allegations against the PNC from 1968 to 1985 were the blatant and fraudulent rigging of elections which were supported by a substantial body of evidence from credible local and international individuals and agencies. During this period countless calls were made for the PNC governments to resign.

They never did and ruled this country illegally for 25 years and almost destroyed it.

Mr Corbin must explain his stand when the PNC was in office before demands for resignation can have some credibility.

His past explanations that elections were not rigged will only serve to damage the PNCR's credibility further.

Yours faithfully,

Toolsie Narine
