UPDATE ON ASHWIN RAJ: He is now trying to get the Chair of the Human Rights Commission, Justice Ajmeer, removed because the Commissioners have accused Raj of gross abuse of office. The charges include alleged vehicle, office funds, and complaints data abuses

From Fijileaks Archive:

A day later after her Lasulasu
OPERATION KIDACALA:
RABUKA'S 30th Candidate IS....Lynda Tabuya

[Sitiveni] Rabuka says the newly chosen SODELPA Vice President Vijay Singh and Lynda Tabuya have personally accepted the challenge in resigning from PDP and joining SODELPA. Former PDP Leader Lynda Tabuya says they are glad to unite with SODELPA to fight the 2018 general elections. Tabuya says they needed to rethink their strategies moving forward. She says pre‑elections coalitions is just not legally possible in the current election system. Tabuya says they have chosen to join SODELPA because their policies are similar:
Fijivillage, 9 December 2017
Fijileaks: Questions to Lynda Tabuya and Vijay Singh:
1) Have you two resigned from the PDP?
2) If so, when did you resign?
3) Who accepted your resignations?
4) Who is temporarily in charge of PDP?
5) When did you join SODELPA?
6) Tabuya, when did you apply to be CANDIDATE? When were you (if at all) interviewed by the SODELPA SELECTION COMMITTEE? Right up to 8 December, and a day before the announcement of candidates, you were insisting that you were not a member of SODELPA. You claimed you were still leader of PDP in talks with SODELPA. But on 9 December Rabuka claimed you had resigned from PDP and have joined SODELPA, with Singh appointed as a VP for SODELPA?
7) Why should there be a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) if you two have resigned from PDP and joined SODELPA. A MOU is a document that expresses mutual accord on an issue between two or more parties. MOUs are generally recognized as binding, even if no legal claim could be based on the rights
7) On what grounds did the PDP Management Board, to use your own statements, grant you authority to sign a MOU with Sitiveni Rabuka? Come off, its like a Board of Trustees granting former Directors the powers to sign off multi-million dollar deals? Who are you two fooling? Or are you two surrounded by FOOLS in PDP and SODELPA?
9) If you two have resigned and joined SODELPA, why the hell should you two be exempt from the rules and regulations of SODELPA Party Constitution?
8) Vijay Singh, you have become a VICE-PRESIDENT of SODELPA, so what is this garbage MOU that you have signed with Rabuka, allegedly at the behest of the PDP Management Board? Have you merged PDP into SODELPA?
10) Have you two informed of your departure to the Supervisor of Elections?
We call on the Election Supervisor to look into the whole shenanigan?
PDP slogan was: REAL CHANGE. Now, you have changed political sides, you have no bloody right, power, or privilege to be signing an MOU with Rabuka.
You have to be treated as any SODELPA member, without any grace or favour
10) Lynda Tabuya, go and ask FLP leader Mahendra Chaudhry about MOUs with Sitiveni Rabuka. This man is the biggest liu muri in Fiji. Only an ignorant fool, devoid of history, will make a 'DEAL WITH THE DEVIL"

So sloppy. If they cannot even comply with such obvious rules; what does this say about their capacity for the more complex responsibilities of governing the country!

Ashwin Raj is trying to defend the indefensible! He knows very well that the worst human rights violators in the country’s history are the ones running the country now!
Raj, like most of his ilk, are flattered by the patronage their get from their bosses only to soon discover that there is no free lunch. Now he has to run to FBC to berate the citizens of Fiji for expressing their true feelings about the regime. Must be demeaning. Give it up Raj while you you can or be eternally tarnished. You are good boy. Go on, go and gather proper experience and wisdom somewhere to save yourself and your family.

Half the time Ashwin Raj can be found at coffee shops, people watching, so when does he do any real work? He can only shoot his mouth off as a government propagandist. That is all Aiyaz wants from this imbeccile and his paying him handsomely for it. Ashwin Raj is a symbol of corruption and waste of taxpayers' money. He has no ability and moves up through brown nosing the likes the Bainimarama and Khaiym.

Editor,
Siding With The Truth
Some find such a stance unpalatable. But the truth cannot be denied.
Here’s a case in point by way of an illustration.
Fred Pilcher writes :
“ James Carouso, the US Charge d’ Affaires in Canberra, has reported told Australia to “ Stand up to China “.
A more sensible course would befor us to stand up to the US. Perhaps if we started behaving like a [true] friend, rather than a tributary State by refusing to participate in their war-for-profits, closing down their Australian military and spy bases and giving them sensible and considered advice rather than simply doing their bidding, the world might become a slightly safer and saner place. Australia certainly would “ ( Canberra Times 30/12 ).
Pilcher tells it like it is. We cannot hope to remedy a wrong wherever it exists by shifting the blame.
Blame has to be put where it rightly belongs as the first essential step to seeking solutions to the wrong.
This in my view is what the Fijileaks aspires to do with regard to the wrongs it identifies in Fiji politics.
It’s not surprising some find that unpalatable.
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu

So true, the case for stating the truth.
With all the talk about multiracialism and true democracy in the new Fiji of Bainimarama and Khaiyum’s creation the truth is that racism and fascism remains lurking just beneath the veneer of racial harmony and democracy.
