THE People’s Progressive Party yesterday joined with all Guyanese in marking the 33rd death Anniversary of Dr. Walter Rodney.
Dr. Rodney is recognised the world over as a freedom fighter. The PPP said while he is better known for his contribution to Africa, he also supported the freedom and working people’s struggles throughout the world. “It was therefore no surprise that he challenged the People’s National Congress (PNC) regime (the PNC now calls it-self APNU -A partnership for National Unity), for its dictatorial and anti-people’s stance. He joined the struggle on his return home to liberate Guyana,” the PPP stated.
The ruling party said Rodney’s contribution in that period was very important and helped to unmask the oppressive regime of the PNC.
The dictatorship was isolated and lost all credibility that they constantly resorted to violence and murders, the PPP stated.
“Walter Rodney was the most famous in a long line of persons who were murdered by the then PNC regime. These included Jagan Ramesar and Bholanauth Parmanand, Edward Dublin, Ohene Kaoma and many others,” the PPP said.
“Walter Rodney stood with the people. He is one of our heroes and will always be remembered for his fearless stance against oppression and dictatorship,” he added.
The People’s Progressive Party said it supports President Donald Ramotar and the Government in establishing an International Commission of Inquiry into the assassination of “one of our country’s freedom fighters and brilliant minds”.
