Labour slams Coup 4.5 mischief

[posted 13 Jan 2011,1400]

The Fiji Labour Party slams as mischievous lies a report in the Coup 4.5 blog that Mahendra Chaudhry and Felix Anthony are organising a protest march for next month.

This is yet another example of baseless and malicious reporting by Coup 4.5. The integrity and credibility of this blog has already been seriously undermined by false reporting in the past.

“It is pure fabrication. I want to ask Coup 4.5 and their collaborators who are political detractors of the Fiji Labour Party (and whose identities we are clearly aware of), when are they going to desist from such malicious propaganda against the FLP leadership?” asked FLP’s assistant secretary-general Lekh Ram Vayeshnoi.

“The reference to the Rakiraki case is sub-judice because it is before the courts.

"But my advice to those who indulge in dirty tricks to try and malign  Mr Chaudhry is that the Labour Leader remains undeterred by your mischievous propaganda.

“It has had no impact either on him or his continuing overwhelming support at the grassroots level. Mr Chaudhry continues do his duty by his people regardless – therein lies his strength as a leader!  That's not something one can say about his detractors,” Mr Vayeshnoi said.
