Georgetown : Moses Veerasammy Nagamootoo who joined the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) way back in 1961 has officially resigned from the Central Committee and as a member of the PPP with immediate effect.
Nagamootoo speaking to members of the media this afternoon said he would not subscribe his name to the PPP’s list of candidates for the 2011 National Elections, nor would he feature on the party’s platform.
“I have now brought closure to my association with the PPP, which started 50 years ago through the ranks to become Vice-Chairman of the Progressive Youth Organisation (PYO), Secretary of the national Students Committee, Member of the PPP Central/ Executive Committees and Secretariat; and Member of Parliament/ Minister of Government,” he said.
Nagamootoo pointed out that the best years he spent were those in struggle at the side of Cheddi Jagan.
His closing words were “my fight for political democracy was not against any personality but about principles and procedures and above all, for the preservation of the integrity of the party. But I was nevertheless publicly maligned, label a loser and bulldozed”.
