He noted that the party was no coward, that it had planned it all out before hand. He said that the action had his full support.“I was in full agreement of the walk out,” he said. “We discussed these matters before. All this has to do with parliamentary strategy and tactics.”“Could you imagine if all the 31 Members of Parliament (MP) walked out and I was the only one sitting there?” he continued. “I’m sure many people would be rubbing their hands in glee, because they have something to write about. It can’t happen and it wouldn’t happen.”He noted that Jagdeo is the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament and he thus led the walk out as leader in that sense, while others followed.

Because anyone who knows my history among others (would know) this is not a party of cowards.
