And justice for all

Sir Allow me to comment on Dr Vijay Naidu’s letter titled “And justice for all”, which was published in the June issue of your magazine.

In his letter, he points to the failure of political leaders in fulfilling their leader ship role as one of the root causes of crime (paragraph 5).

While this may be true for some polit ical parties, whose leaders are remnants of the rogue elements of the 1987 coups or leaders who deserted their people after the coups of 1987, it certainly does not apply to other political parties which have provided strong and decisive lead ership in times of need. They continue to do so today.

Dr Naidu should try and get his facts right as it will give his letter the credibil ity that it deserves and to justify his posi tion as a senior lecturer.
