Former APNU+AFC Parliamentarian Charrandass Persaud was yesterday welcomed as an observer at the 14th Sitting of the 12th Parliament hours after members of the Opposition berated him for daring to show his face.
“I would like to acknowledge the presence of former member Charrandass Persaud who should feel very protected in this building,” Speaker Manzoor Nadir announced amidst a debate on a motion to manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Speaker’s comment was a clear reference to a verbal altercation between Persaud and Opposition APNU+AFC Parliamentarians including Sherod Duncan and former Minister Annette Ferguson.
Persaud’s vote for a PPP/C motion of no-confidence on December 21, 2018 had brought down the APNU+AFC government.
