PDP interim president Adi Sivia Qoro says they liaise with trade unionists & will continue to do so, despite former party member Nirmal Singh telling regime propaganda FBC TV of "interference" in party affairs

3/2/2014

One of the founding members and Interim President of the People’s Democratic Party, Adi Sivia Qoro said they have been consulting union representatives and will continue to do so just as they are consulting other people.

Qoro said they will continue to invite union representatives and employers’ representatives to their meetings if there is a need for it. However, Qoro said unionists like Felix Anthony and Daniel Urai who are also the founders of the Party do not have a say in the day to day running of the Party as she is in charge.

One of the founders and Party spokesperson, Nirmal Singh resigned from the party yesterday saying his resignation is based on a fundamental disagreement with several issues.

Singh admitted that the policies of the party expressed so far in the media were mostly articulated by him and this has not gone down well with some founding members and this was done in absence of the party having any firmed up policies. Qoro said Singh has his own views.Qoro has also confirmed that the Party’s office is situated at the Fiji Trades Union Congress building in Suva however they are paying rent every month.

TOO BIG FOR PARTY SHOES: Nirmal Singh with interim President Adi Sivia Qoro. He has put his hands up and has left the party. Adi Qoro says the PDP will march on without Singh. Adi Qoro told the press: “I’ve personally spoken with him [Singh]. What he discussed with me over the phone – it was for personal reasons. Apparently he had discussions with his family and it also had to do with his business..."

This man had a great future with the party - that is if he was there for the party and not himself - and maybe as a regime mole inside - who knows. I a not a PDP member, in fact, still have not decided which party to vote for come elections. One would have thought he would have gone along with the party - to defeat the regime, but no, instead, he ended up quarreling with them

What has be done for the common worker - we know Felix was beaten up by Frank and Urai is charged with several criminal offences - whatever we say about these two man, they are still up there, speaking out, for us, and against the regime which is yet to tell us how much they are even getting in salaries etc

Nirmal, mate, you have blown your good name - please dont even think of forming a new party!

Thats right @Talent Hunter
No matter what people say and infact they dont know the truth, Felix and Dan have stood up to the regime.
Felix was imprisoned and tortured and Dan has been charged so many times by the regime.
These two men are living examples of fighting for us Fijians without gain for own personal reason.
Keep up the good work guys!!~!

He had nil political future. Would have always been a snake that got showed up. His plan was always to steer the party towards being led by VB and letting ASK be the AG in the new government if they won. The man cannot deny this as he spoke to many people about this plan.

FACT REMAINS: Nirmal is a traitor and a big time loser. No one knew about him before PDP and no one will know him after PDP. The PDP party is a breath of freshness in Fiji and for the citizens. I have attended one of their meetings and found this party to be the real deal. I always found this nirmal character abit odd on the news every now and again since he was shooting his big mouth off without any substance.
He was only about himself and very very power hungry. He will end up putting his own shoes in his big mouth to chew on!!
Long live PDP
