As such, it is demanding that Ali “produce evidence to support his claim.And should the Minister be unable to produce such evidence, APNU said, “we demand an immediate withdrawal of the statement.”According to the party, it not only strongly condemns the reckless and irresponsible remarks of the Minister,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, but it sees “this type of rhetoric as dangerous, irresponsible scare-mongering, which needs to be roundly condemned by all right thinking Guyanese.” |
