<\/a><\/p>\nNagamootoo said that elections will be peaceful \u201cunless the PPP sends their goons to create violence.\u201d
\nIn this regard, the long standing politician expressed, \u201cI believe we have to be on the lookout as they (PPP members) will try to incite intolerance\u2014particularly in the indo-Guyanese communities\u2014to try to shut out others from going into those communities, because they believe that the Indian communities are their fiefdom.\u201d
\nThe former PPP member said that the incumbent Party has already set a tone for \u201cthat sort of immoral behavior.\u201d
\nNagamootoo has for sometime been speaking out against racial division and PPP\u2019s reliance on that to garner votes.
\nDuring the most recent interview, Nagamootoo said that the PPP has, over the last three months, been setting the tone for what may arise nearer to elections.
\nHe added that a Party\u2019s resort to the race card to win votes is about the lowest it can go.
\nThe politician said that the PPP is likely to try to agitate Indians \u201cbecause they fear we will steal their votes. They feel they own Indians and Indians have no right to vote for no other political party.\u201d
\nOn the issue of possible civil unrest, Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Donald Ramotar, recently stressed the major concern of the Guyana Defense Force (GDF) should be to keep things under lawful control during the elections season.
\nThe President said this as he addressed over 100 officers during GDF\u2019s annual officer\u2019s conference.
\nRamotar told officers that election, \u201cby its nature, is very competitive and may be divisive.\u201d
\nThe President reminded that Guyana has a multi-ethnic society and ethnic insecurity can therefore be aroused during the campaign, and that this can lead to unrest.
\nHe told the army to be on high alert for any such eventuality and said that he will expect that such be dealt with sternly.
\nIn this regard, Ramotar pointed out that the joint services\u2019 early voting is intended to provide them with the full opportunity to discharge their responsibility fully and professionally.
\nThe President said that the GDF is an essentially professional and non-partisan entity, and noted that even though officers and ranks alike are entitled to vote in accordance with the law, they are not allowed to participate in acts of \u201cpolitical propaganda or militancy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
