A group of young people calling themselves concerned Guyanese were picketing peacefully outside the PNCR Headquarters, Congress Place, Sophia yesterday when they were accosted by a party official who came out and abused them, using threatening language.

The Chronicle understands that other persons came out of Congress Place and the picketers scattered. A Route 47 minibus driver saw their predicament, reduced his speed and opened the door so some of the picketers could hop on the bus.

The rest of the picketers ran off in various directions.

The group of concerned Guyanese has been picketing a number of institutions recently, including the opposition Alliance for Change asking searching questions about the integrity of the party.
