BAINIMARAMA CRYING WUF:  'It is interesting to note that the leaders of three separate political parties are all from Nadroga province. There’s a new political party, We Unite Fiji, that has sprung up - acronym W-U-F'

5/5/2022

 

Fijileaks: Why should western i-taukei Fijians bend and bow to FFP?

Picture
In 1963, the firebrand late APISAI TORA (Western Democratic Party), who then unsuccessfully contested the western Fijian seat in the Legislative Council against his opponent and paramount chief and later president, the late RATU SIR PENAIA GANILAU, had charged that the easterners ignored the western people, telling his political followers in the western township of Ba:
'You have been ruled by leaders from other areas who treated you with calculated contempt. Your division is the most important because from it comes the economic lifeblood of the colony. You deserve to be treated as first-class citizens. You must confess that deep inside you there was a longing to see the day when your kinsman in western Fiji, would rise to become leaders in their own domain and perhaps the whole [of Fiji].'

Fijileaks: Why should Non-Western i-Taukei Fijians have monopoly on power? And Western i-Taukei Fijians must just accept bread crumbs from the FFP government?

*Bainimarama says many of them know that the original WUF was the Western United Front, which sought the separation of their region due to sentiments of neglect and isolation from the rest of the nation. 
​*He says that is not the case today, not under his government's leadership. *They have ensured that no community, village, province or Fijian has been treated differently or left behind.

Fijileaks: No, Bainimarama, WUF was not planning to separate due to neglect and isolation. While you were sailing the sea, our Editor-in-Chief in 1982 was privy to Ratu Osea Gavidi's thoughts and plans for his western in-Taukei kinsmen, and had covered WUF's formation.
*The West, the breadbasket of Fiji's economy, wanted a stake in political power. For decades the western i-Taukei Fijians were ruled and ordered about by Eastern, Central and Northern Fijians. In 1987, they finally had their own Prime Minister, but the northern vulagi thug with guns and the excuse that Indo-Fijians had taken over Fiji overthrew
DR TIMOCI BAVADRA and his FLP-NFP coalition government
*In the 1982 general election, the Alliance Party tried to crush WUF and its leader Ratu Osea Gavidi. Our Founding Editor-in-Chief, then with the previous Fiji Sun (completely shut down for good by coupist Rabuka), had leaked the 'Carroll Report' on how Alliance Party could win the
​1982 general election:
* Scenario Three. 'GAVIDI - since he is going to jail anyway, best to pile all effort on and accelerate prosecutions so he cannot run'.
The Carroll Report was leaked to our Editor-in-Chief by the team's Australian market researcher Rosemarie Gillespie at the
​Suva Peninsula Hotel in 1982. 
*The Fiji Times owner Mahendra Motibhai, hiding in Australia, had FUNDED the Carroll Report to ensure Alliance Party retained power

1987: RABUKA - MOST VIOLENT MILITARY THUG TO HAVE GRACED FIJI'S SCENE:

Australian
ROSEMARIE GILLESPIE
was given the choice between being knifed, or hung.
She made it out alive

*In 1989, Rabuka had deported this Australian market researcher turned lawyer Rosemary (Rosemarie) Gillespie (4 February 1941 – 21 June 2010). In 1982, she had leaked to our Founding Editor-in-Chief the so-called "Carroll Report" which had been commissioned by PM Ratu Mara and Mahendra 'Mac' Patel on how to win the then forthcoming 1982 general election. Our Founding Editor-in-Chief was then on the old Fiji Sun, reporting alongside Nemani Delaibatiki, Peter Lomas etc, etc, etc. *Gillespie had passed on the "Carroll Report" to our Editor-in-Chief at the Suva Peninsula Hotel.
*The Fiji Sun published extensive abstracts despite repeated threats and raids on its office to locate the 'Report'. Our Editor-in-Chief also used the Report and other highly sensitive materials from Gillespie to write a definitive account of the 1982 general election (see Fiji: Coups in Paradise - Race, Politics and Military Intervention).
* Five years later, in 1987, Rabuka not only forcibly shut down the old Fiji Sun but Delaibatiki was taken up to the military barracks in Suva, had a gun put to his head, and reminded that his life was worth the cost of the bullet in the revolver: 27 Fijian Cents.
*The Fiji Sun publisher and the paper's lawyer Miles Johnson were thrown in the same cell as deposed Prime Minister Timoci Bavadra.
*Now, "THUGRABUKA" is back, offering himself as the best political candidate to remove FFP.
* We have repeatedly stated that he should renounce his 1988 IMMUNITY so the 2006 Coupists and their Supporters can be brought to Justice. * Shortly after her deportation, Gillespie informed our Editor-in-Chief that she had merely gone to Fiji for a HOLIDAY.
*The thug never gave his reason.
Despite the deportation and subjected to death threats, Gillespie remained extensively involved in
the Movement for Democracy in Fiji.
​
She died of a stroke in 2010. RIP.

INSULT: If Western i-Taukei Voters make Rabuka Prime Minister, they would be insulting the memory of Dr Bavadra, who never enjoyed the democratic right to lead Fiji. Today, the same thug and his cunning supporters are demanding that RFMF must accept A RABUKA WIN

LEAVE OUR PAAP LEADER ALONE: SODELPA defector and the PAP VP Manoa Kamikamica, the candidate selector tells CAMILLO: 'There is no apology to be issued from Party...Do not bother our Party Leader again.'

5/5/2022

 

Abel Camillo tells Kamikamica to SHUT UP, for his text message
​was addressed to Sitiveni Rabuka and not to Manoa Kamikamica 

Picture

Fijileaks: Kamikamica should read how his Duna Party Leader knifed his (Kamikamica's father in the 1990s) and now Camillo and Lynda Tabuya - SODELPA's Rock Star to Rock Bottom in PAP. We were wondering why the brilliant Tabuya was increasingly cutting a subdued figure, Isa!!!
Kamikamica is one of three interviewing poll candidates for PAP.
​In his reply, Camillo told Kamikamica to SHUT UP, for his text message was addressed to Rabuka and not to Kamikamica. 
WEB OF PAP CORRUPTION: Coming soon, *Abuse of Funds, *Money missing after the Nawaka launch, and *No Receipts from the Nadi Youth. Its all over again - a mini NBF scandal when Rabuka, the chiefs and Indians, thieves, and cronies stole over $400million from the
collapsed bank
*We are waiting to hear from 'Ponga Professor and Rabuka's Deputy Prime Minister-in-Waiting' currently lecturing us on Fiji's economy.
​*He blocked
Fijileaks from accessing NFP Facebook after we told him he should wait and not run and tie the marriage knot with Rabuka.
*We told him that we have dealt with the SNAKE-DUNA since 1987. Another possible SODELPA defector,
Ro Filipe Tuisawau, should think long and hard before tangling with the Duna.
*History, Rewa Chief, History!
As second-in-command, our Founding Editor-in-Chief had delivered over 60 tons of weapons to Ro Filipe's father, the late Ratu Mosese Tuisawau, who had desperately begged for weapons to prevent genocide in Fiji against Indo-Fijians and other races. RIP, Ratu Mosese Tuisawau! 

Picture

Fijileaks: Coming later, How some of those weapons were used by the CRWU soldiers who seized Parliament in 2000. We recognized the weapons. Remember, Rabuka had founded the special unit. Did he divert the original seized weapons to CRW soldiers and its leader Ilisoni Ligairi in 1988? They had trained on his Valavala Estate before seizing the Chaudhry government. Over two tons of weapons are still missing and unaccounted for?
*We also recognised some of those shipped weapons were used during the bloody November 2000 mutiny by SHANE STEVENS and other mutineers when the current Commander Ratu Jone Kalouniwai nearly lost his life. He was held HOSTAGE and missed getting KILLED
*In 1987, the Ponga Professor was nowhere to be seen or heard. He was hiding under the BED, protesting we should reason with Fiji's Hitler who was raping, torturing, beating, disenfranchsing Indo-Fijians, branding them 'Pagans who must be converted to Christianity' in Fiji. The coupist thug is still hiding behind IMMUNITY that he gave himself in 1988
​*The Ponga Professor has crawled out to share the political bed with Rabuka. Some deposed 1987 NFP MPs, later in bed with Rabuka, had asked us in London to send the weapons onto Ratu Mosese to hide their own trails. They bloody know damn well who they are. They betrayed us.
​*We will NOT be lectured by Indo-Fijian TRAITORS in bed with Rabuka. Now, those who had been begging our Founding Editor to rally behind Sitiveni Rabuka to oust the 'Evil Bainimarama-Khaiyum Nexus' will understand why we refused to - the man is a SNAKE, DUNA. Its all about Rabuka. Since 1987, he has conned thousands to remain relevant.
​Manoa Kamikamica is his latest victim, taking on Abel Camillo:

PRISONER TO PAP 'PROSECUTOR': Camillo and Supporters to Rabuka: 'How can someone who spent five years in prison for abuse of office is now sitting in judgment on WHO should represent PAP in the Parliament'

4/5/2022

 

The former PAP president of the Nadi branch, ABEL CAMILLO, slams Keni Dakuidreketi's role in the selection process and demands apology from Sitiveni Rabuka for the shoddy treatment he has received at the hands of Dakuidreketi and the Johnny-Come-Lately SODELPA defector and PAP Vice-President Manoa Kamikamica

Picture

Abel Camillo (David) to Rabuka (Saul):
"I am reacting to the attack on me and disrespect. What did you expect from a warrior? Kindly issue a public apology for what transpired with my role in the Peoples Alliance Party as Nadi district branch president and EOI to represent of people of Rotuma. You hurt many people. See me in person to seek forgiveness if you have the time...In the 7 months I worked tirelessly, you had no time for me. Yes, I am young; I am progressive.'
Rabuka: 'Mr Camillo was an applicant, and they were subjected to all the interviews, pre-interviews, selections, and shortlistings. He was appointed president for Nadi and now we have to find a new president  after he has resigned.' 

Lynda Tabuya to Camillo:
"I hear you loud and clear. I'm so sorry, just so sorry. That's why I'm cut out from the party because I'm progressive like you. So I just be smart and keep finding those windows even if doors close. Amen."

PAP Betray Their Very Own: Party Selection Committee dustbin PAP Nadi branch president's application as election candidate, so NFP's potential Rotuma candidate Dr John Fatiaki could allegedly court Rotuman Votes

4/5/2022

 

Fijileaks: The betrayal of Abel Camillo, his PAP Nadi branch president, is a salutary warning to BIMAN PRASAD that if Rabuka wins handsomely (we doubt he will win the election), he will renege on whatever promise he has made to the 'Ponga Professor' in the coalition pact

Picture

ABEL CAMILLO tendered his RESIGNATION to PAP leader Sitiveni Rabuka on 2 May. It was accepted by Rabuka and party general secretary Sakiasi Ditoka. Camillo resigned, both as branch president and as a party member. Several of his family, friends and followers, have also resigned in disgust at the PAAP committed against him.
*Meanwhile, an Indo-Fijian candidate, SAJAL NARAYAN, the Vice-President of PAP's Youth Wing, refused to answer questions about his driving and other conviction charges in the US.
* TIK TOKKER Lynda Tabuya allegedly threatened to resign recently but DUNA Rabuka promised to make her Prime Minister a year or more into government if he became Prime Minister in coalition with his political wife, Biman Prasad, the leader of the National Federation Party.
*Meanwhile, it is alleged that Five Candidates who didn't meet the criteria were given preference by the PAP Selection team over sitting branch president Abel Camillo who worked very hard to set up the branch in the West and was a representative of the late Na Momolevu Na Tui Nawaka

PAP'S TEAM SELECTING ELECTION CANDIDATES:

We wonder if Sajal Narayan disclosed his convictions, but Dakuidreketi, who served five out of the six-year sentence for abuse of office, thought it was not essential to consider and issued a PAP ticket? 
​In August 2014, Dakuidreketi, the former Native Land Trust Board Director, was found guilty of five counts of abuse of office for the purpose of gain by the Suva High Court.

Picture

 In April 2018, the Supreme Court refused Dakuidreketi's application for leave to appeal the sentence and conviction. The Supreme Court upheld his sentence with a non-parole period of five years, passed by the High Court in 2014. His supporters had claimed that the charges, stemming between 2004 and 2005, were politically motivated against Dakuidreketi.

STRIP DUAL CITIZENSHIP: Fijileaks - It is time those overseas who are convicted of even minor offences are STRIPPED of Dual CITIZENSHIP. Too many former rogue citizens had flooded Fiji since 2009 when the FijiFirst government allowed dual citizenship.

*PAP Selection TEAM fast drive-through Narayan's application without properly checking his past records in the United States. Even if one excuses his drinking driving charge, his failure to comply with odometer disclosure is severe.
* He ran a car dealership and was accused of not maintaining odometer statements. The function of the odometer is to provide information about the distance travelled by car. By knowing the distance travelled, you can see the intensity of the work of a vehicle. Checking the odometer is very important because it can be a reference when trying to buy a used car.
* One may ask, so what? It matters when one is aspiring to run for public office and might even become Rabuka-Prasad Couple's 'Minister for Transport and Road Works'.
* In 2012, there was an odometer disclosure penalty and failure against Sajal Narayan to release vehicle title to the buyer. Both Class 1 Misdemeanors
* In 2016, a bench warrant was issued on a contempt charge.
* In 2017, he was arrested for trespassing
* In 2019, he was pulled over for suspected drink-driving. The prosecution dropped refusal to take the breathalyser test and reckless driving charges. However, the Amherst & Campbell District Court in Virginia found him guilty of driving while drunk and failing to report an accident. The court also placed him on a restricted driver's licence
MYSTERY: What is Sajal Narayan doing in Fiji, a man who only three years ago was boasting in the Fiji Sun (25 February 2019) about how the family went from rag to riches in the United States? 
"The family went to USA with $10, 000. Now they have motels, gas stations and a trucking company. Mr Narayan built his own automobile dealership."
And, is now aspiring to enter Fiji's Parliament under PAP? But, then, we shouldn't be surprised, for his own leader and COUPIST Sitiveni Rabuka is hiding behind the IMMUNITY he gave himself in 1988 for the two coups and the rape, murder, torture, beatings and disenfranchisement of Indo-Fijians and Other non-i-Taukei Fijians. And two prominent lawyers, Filimoni Vosarogo and Lynda Tabuya have no PROBLEM with Rabuka's past while berating and reminding us of the rule of law, human rights, and clean government.

Nothing comes easy, says Sajal Naray­an.

The 32-year-old of Nasorowaqa in Bua, who now lives in the United States of America said starting a living there was “very tough”.

He is now the President for District 6 West­ern Virginia Best Bet Motor Sales Corp and State Vice President for Virginia Independ­ent Automobile Dealer’s Association (VIA­DA).

His parents won the Green Card lottery 19 years ago when he was just a 12-year-old kid.

“We went to America with my parents sav­ing of only $10, 000,” he said.

“My Dad worked really hard doing handy­man work, odds time jobs and he saved up.”

Mr Narayan said by 2002 his dad saved up to $40,000 to start his business.

He added that his dad bought a motel to start with and their business grew over time.

“We kept saving up and bought another motel and two gas stations with conveni­ence stores,” he said.

The two motels have a total of 58 rooms.

After graduating in 2008, Mr Narayan said he wanted to start his own business and be­cause of his love for cars, he started his car dealership business with an investment of $200,000 given to him by his father.

Today, the family also owns a trucking company with 12 trucks and Rental proper­ties in real estate providing employment to more than 30 people in Leechburg on Vir­ginia in the US.

Mr Narayan emphasised that success does not come easy but if the heart is willing then there won’t be any barrier.

“A lot of sacrifices were made to get there,” he said.

He encouraged youths to stay focused on their goals and once they have achieved their goals, things would just fall in place.

Former Native Land Trust Board Director, Keni Dakuidreketi has been found guilty of five counts of abuse of office for the purpose of gain by the Suva High court. High court Judge Justice, Janaka Bandara overturned the decision of the five assessors who had found him not guilty of abuse of office for the purpose of gain and convicted him of the five charges.
The assessors had found Dakuidreketi guilty of abuse of office.


Picture
The court heard that Dakuidreketi between 31st March 2004 and 21st September 2004, while being employed as a member of NLTB and Chairman of Vanua Development Corporation, in abuse of the authority of his office, did an arbitrary act for the purpose of gain, by facilitating a loan of $2 million to be made by Vanua Development Corporation to Pacific Connex, which was prejudicial to the NLTB and indigenous Fijians.

The second count relates to Dakuidreketi facilitating a loan of $900,000 to be made by Vanua Development Corporation to Pacific Connex between the 16th and the 29th of November 2004.

The third count said that Dakuidreketi between about 28th February 2005 to 28th April 2005 facilitated a government grant of $1 million disbursed to Vanua Development Corporation through the NLTB to be used as security for a loan to Pacific Connex Limited by Dominion Finance.

For the fourth count Dakuidreketi again between 27th April 2005 to 3rd July 2007 while being employed as a member of NLTB and Chairman of Vanua Development Corporation facilitated a government grant of $1 million disbursed to Vanua Development Corporation through the NLTB to be used as security for overdraft and loan facilities provided to Pacific Connex, by ANZ Bank.

The court also heard that Dakuidreketi between 23rd September 2005 and 29th September 2005 facilitated a loan of $1 million to be made by the Vanua Development Corporation to Pacific Connex, which was prejudicial to the NLTB and the indigenous Fijians.

Vanua Development Corporation was set up as an investment arm of NLTB which included the involvement of Dakuidreketi while Pacific Connex was an IT company set up by Ballu Khan.

NARUBE TO ROTARIANS: This FFP Government has squandered over $12billion since 2007. Therefore, the Minister should urgently focus, not so much on taxes, but on expenditure reforms. Poverty THREAT to Peace

19/4/2022

 
Picture
The Leader of Unity Fiji, Savenaca Narube, said that Fiji was suffering from deep structural issues that were already here before the COVID-19 struck Fiji. The former Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji was addressing the Suva Rotary Club at the Grand Pacific Hotel last Thursday.

Narube explained that these structural problem
s included rising government expenditures, the low quality of that spending, the high dependency on the fragile tourism industry, and the low level of productivity, amongst others. These fundamental problems were clearly the result of wrong financial choices and poor economic leadership.

Narube stressed that over the last decade, the national budgets seriously lacked a medium to long term economic vision. Instead, the budgets provided temporary relief that would not unshackle our economic potential. For instance, the recent mini budget did not have any plan to diversify the economy. Therefore, rather than build economic buffers through reforms, the Minister continued to increase our economic vulnerability. He had not learnt a thing from the economic crisis of the pandemic.

The Leader of Unity Fiji told the Rotarians that the policy of this Government since it came into power was to borrow and spend. Fiji, with its small size and limited natural endowments, could not afford this irresponsible policy. The deficit of the mini budget was over 10% of GDP at a time that debt was already unsustainable. Government should have started the long and difficult process of clawing back the rate of increase in debt.

In such
a hostile climate that Fiji faced now, Narube conceded that borrowing was essential as government revenue stalled. But he clarified that the danger was that these borrowings were spent on unproductive areas. He calculated that this Government had squandered over $12 billion since 2007. Therefore, the Minister should urgently focus, not so much on taxes, but on expenditure reforms.

Narube emphasised that the biggest threat to national unity and peace was the escalating poverty. Poverty was the ultimate test of the success or failure of any government. Poverty before the pandemic was already at 32%. It would now be over 40%. Three quarters of people suffering from poverty were indigenous Fijians. Narube was disappointed that previous national budgets including the mini budget had not acknowledged this fact let alone announced a plan to reduce poverty. To many people, this was a clear sign that this Government had failed and lacked the economic vision to take this country forward.

THROWS IN WHITE UNDERWEAR: NFP leader Biman Prasad runs away mid interview from Radio Tarana in Auckland. He was in NZ reportedly on Critical Purpose Visa (Health) and not to gouge in Gosh Fulia fundraising

13/4/2022

 
Picture

*How did Prasad get into New Zealand?
Due to very strict Covid travel restrictions, one can only travel to New Zealand if the person is:
* a New Zealand Citizen
* Has a New Zealand Resident Visa or *Holds a Critical Purpose Visa.
* Although his son and his daughter-in-law live in Auckland, family members of temporary visa holders will be able to enter New Zealand only from 11.59pm on 1 May 2022.
* If one is an Australian citizen or permanent resident, that person can enter New Zealand from 11.59pm on Tuesday 12 April 2022.
Does Prasad hold dual Fijian and Australian citizenship? Or does he
hold Permanent Residency in Australia? He arrived in Auckland on
12 April 2022
* He was in New Zealand campaigning on behalf of NFP-PAAP
*We notice that NFP chucked out and blocked a Fijileaks supporter from its Facebook page for raising the above questions

* Fijileaks: Fiji Hospitals Not FIT for Political Leaders?
* We wonder if Prasad broke Fiji election campaign rules by taking part in fund-raising dinner, radio interviews, and speeches to Fijian residents (potential voters) in Auckland?
*Campaigning, legally, only kicks off on 26 April in Fiji and abroad
* Did he also infringe NZ visa regulations by participating in fund-raising dinner and granting radio interviews when he was only allowed to enter New Zealand reportedly for pre-booked medical examination?
*Or did he use his son, who lives in New Zealand, as an excuse to sneak into Auckland to campaign and indulge in Gosh Fulia? After all, New Zealand has the best succulent LAMB CHOPS in the world.
* Since Covid, New Zealand only allows entry to citizens, those with permanent residency and Fijians needing medical assistance
* RUNAWAY Leaders: Rabuka ran away from SODELPA and Parliament. Now, his 'Deputy Prime Minister' runs away from a radio interview.
He refused to disclose when NFP will bring out its Manifesto, and like
a spoiled student, the Ponga Professor stormed out of the radio studio
*Bloody good riddance
*He was once again speaking in his bullsh*t posh Indian Hindi, throwing in a few English words but refusing to SPEAK in our coolie mother tongue - FIJI HINDI. No wonder he has become hostage to the coupist and racist Rabuka, from whom he was hiding during the 1987 Coups. He kept reminding his listeners about the Rabuka-Reddy 1997 Constitution

*Did he also infringe NZ visa regulations by participating in fund-raising when he was only allowed to enter New Zealand for pre-booked
medical examination? He is refusing to disclose his health report.
*Anyway, his interviews were in Sudh Hindi, ashamed to speak Fiji Hindi.

Like in Fiji, Prasad was talking as if he was talking to India Indians
“You are talking like FBC now. You are not listening to me so how can I say. I am telling you the situation and later on I will tell my plan”.
Prasad refused to move beyond his version of Fiji’s problems.
"Whatever sector you talk about the situation is bad. This has happened under the Bainimarama and FijiFirst government. We will go into the Government with three key points. We will tell the people how we will improve the economic situation”.
When the Radio Tarana interviewer Pawan Rekha Prasad insisted on what NFP’s solutions were – Professor Biman had had enough.
“I am stopping the interview with you because you are talking nonsense. You can keep the interview to yourself.”

Picture
Picture
National Federation Party Leader, Professor Biman Prasad walked out of an interview on Radio Tarana in Auckland after he said that he was harassed and unfairly treated in the interview.

When the presenter had asked Professor Prasad to explain changes that he plans to bring in through policies, the NFP Leader said economy, health and education and any other sector in Fiji are not doing well.

Prasad said that this is under the Bainimarama and FijiFirst led government over the last 15 years.

The NFP Leader then said that they will tell the people before the elections what they will do when they form government.

Prasad said they will focus on good governance and true democracy and Fiji’s regional and international reputation but the details will be revealed later.

When asked on the solutions to fix the economy, Professor Biman Prasad told the Radio Tarana presenter to tell the people about the current situation in Fiji.

When asked on what is the solution, Prasad again said the presenter has to explain what is the situation.

Prasad said before COVID-19, there was negative economic growth for Fiji and COVID took the economy further down. He said countries like New Zealand and Australia came forward to provide budget support.

When asked what is his plan, Prasad told the presenter she was not listening to him.

He then said he will talk about the situation and then give the plan.

When the presenter asked again what is his plan for those people who want to vote for him, Prasad said the campaign has not started as yet.

Professor Prasad then said the Radio Tarana presenter should ask him questions respectfully or he will end the interview.

When the presenter asked what is in the NFP manifesto and when will it come out, Prasad said the presenter had first said that the election is yet to be held and the manifestos are yet to done.

He asked whether any other party has come out with the manifesto and then walked out of the interview, saying he is ending the interview and the presenter is talking nonsense.

When questioned by fijivillage on why he walked out of the interview, Professor Prasad claims it was a plan to discredit him.

LOST IN EXPRESSION: Aiyaz Khaiyum trumps Biman Prasad in FBC's Aaina debate - reinforces why "Fiji Hindi" must be the language of political discourse. Prasad's decision to speak in "Indian Hindi" leaves many scrambling for Hindi Dictionary

FROM THE ARCHIVES: VICTOR LAL writing in the Fiji Sun during the 2006 general election campaign:

Fiji Hindi baat bolo, Indo-Fijian politicians!

You are not contesting election to Indian Parliament

By VICTOR LAL

ONE of the most ridiculous and nauseating features of the election campaign is the language usage of Indo-Fijian candidates on the election trail: a pseudo pompous and counterfeit Hindi, as if they are contesting for power in India and not in Fiji.

Several potential voters wrote to me complaining that instead of speaking in the everyday Fiji Hindi to them, the candidates have been making speeches in Shudh (Standard/Correct) Hindi, a language a vast majority of the Indo-Fijian voters hardly understand.

A similar spectacle has been displayed during Question Time and Talk Back programmes on Fiji TV. I decided to watch the appearance of Lekh Ram Vayeshnoi of the Fiji Labour Party, Bimal Prasad of the National Federation Party, Shiu Ram of COIN Party and Dildar Shah of the National Alliance Party on these two programmes.

Again, a pathetic reoccurring pattern, as if Vayeshnoi, who is contesting the Nadroga Indian Communal seat, was reading a script out of the Hindu holy book, the Bhagavad Gita. When, all he was trying to do, was to explain his party’s manifesto (for which there is no Fiji Hindi word).

The other three were equally guilty, and at times I felt sorry for Shiu Ram, who even resorted to English to make his point, instead of opting to speak the language of the Indo-Fijian masses, and over 30 per cent of taukei Fijians – Fiji Hindi.

What is wrong with speaking Fiji Hindi? Are they ashamed of the language of their coolie forefathers? Why are these Indo-Fijian candidates contesting the Indian communal seats when they are by commission or omission, speaking to the voters in the language of ‘Mother India’.

For God’s sake, even Indian candidates, despite belonging to different political parties, speak in the 700 different dialects and languages to their prospective voters in India. A regional aspiring candidate in Madras will be speaking in Madrassi, and even the Communist candidate in Bengal will be pouting his Maoist and Stalinist propaganda in Bengali. The Italian-born Mrs Sonia Gandhi, the leader of the Congress Party, also speaks in a Hindi language which is understood by the vast majority of the voters.

More importantly, the candidates in Bihar would be speaking in Bhojpuri or Awadhi, from which the corrupt version of Fiji Hindi has originated in our country. So why can not our own aspiring Indo-Fijian politicians speak the language of their people?.

As Nemani Bainivalu, a University of the South Pacific Hindi graduate, and later a cultural assistant with the National Reconciliation Unit, had once pointed out, only 20 percent of Indo-Fijians can read and write their formal language.

Many Indo-Fijians cannot even read their holy books written in the Khadee Bolee dialect, and pass on religious teachings by word. I am not suggesting that Sudh Hindi be replaced in our education system, or that everyone should be writing novels like Dauka Puran by Professor Subramani of the Department of Literature and Language at the USP.

What I am protesting against is the gibberish Shudh Hindi that is being shoved down the throats of Indo-Fijian voters who are struggling to ‘swallow’ the words. The election message and manifestoes of the political parties would be better understood if the Indo-Fijian candidates resorted to the conversational Fiji Hindi at the hustings. It will also help bring the taukei Fijians into the campaign, especially the 30 per cent who speak the language, and many others who have a smattering command of it.

It must be made very clear to Indo-Fijian candidates that despite the teaching of Shudh Hindi and Urdu in schools, Fiji Hindi is an integral part of the identity and culture of the Indo-Fijian population. It is unique to Indo-Fijians in the world. The day Indo-Fijian politicians kill Fiji Hindi, they will be killing a part of their history and heritage in Fiji.

For no matter where one goes in the world, the moment one hears an Indo-Fijian open his mouth, one immediately asks him: ‘What part of Fiji are you from?’ In a similar vein, India Indians are able to separate us from them solely on the basis of our Fiji Hindi.

If the Indo-Fijian politicians and aspiring candidates are too ashamed to speak to us in the language of our coolie forefathers, they should pack their bags and their manifestoes and take the next Air India flight to India, and wait there for the next general election in that country to practice their Shudh Hindi. We don’t need Indian political impostors in Fiji.

Such candidates and Indo-Fijian leaders do not deserve our sympathy or votes.

Long live FIJI HINDI.


NO White Underwear Surrender to Rabuka and Prasad: UNITY FIJI fights back and declares that the PARTY will contest the elections on its OWN

9/4/2022

 

“The strong support from across the nation indicated that Unity Fiji has shed its “small” brand that were used by some political parties to discourage voters from voting for Unity Fiji in 2018. For their own convenience, some people still point to the 2018 election results for Unity Fiji. I would like to tell these people that for Unity Fiji, this election will never be like 2018. We can physically sense the momentum of this growing support. More people are now aware of Unity Fiji. They now know who we are and what we stand for. They recognise our strengths and proven ability to take Fiji out of the current mess that we are facing. The great turnout at the AGM has clearly signaled that Unity Fiji has now taken its seat at the table of leadership in Fiji. Therefore, Unity Fiji will contest the 2022 elections on our own. We firmly believe that, with our growing support, we will take our seat at the leadership table in Fiji."
Unity Party leader Savenaca Narube

Fijileaks on PAP-NFP Honeymoon on the Rocks: After recent marriage between PAP-NAG (Snake) party leaders, a major rift is beginning to emerge regarding Indo-Fijian voters. Indo-Fijians who joined PAP to contest the election, are demanding to know who RABUKA will campaign for, and call on Indo-Fijians to vote for? Will he campaign for Biman Prasad or for his own Indo-Fijian candidates? For example, if the Labasa businessman Charan Jeath Singh who has crossed from NFP to PAP has any chance at the poll, Rabuka must woo away NFP Indo-Fijian voters to Singh. Similarly, tension is mounting regarding i-Taukei voters. What is the MOU on targetting of voters? Will Prasad (re i-Taukei candidates) and Rabuka (re Indo-Fijian candidates) sacrifice their ethnic candidates? An unforgivable PAAP because of the hasty marriage the two entered into without a proper vote game plan. Rabuka has a history of betrayal. If he decides (aware of the horrible rape, violence, torture, and disenfranchisement he inflicted on the Indo-Fijians) that it would be best for Prasad to woo Indo-Fijian voters, then the Labasa businessman Charan Jeath Singh might only be able to garner 150 votes, mostly from his staff and family members, and banished into the political wilderness

The Leader of Unity Fiji and former Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji said that Unity Fiji will fight the 2022 elections on its own.

Mr. Narube confirmed that this was the clear message from the party’s Annual General Meeting on Thursday in Suva. More than 400 delegates were at the AGM, with some coming as far away as Vanua Levu.

“The strong support from across the nation indicated that Unity Fiji has shed its “small” brand that were used by some political parties to discourage voters from voting for Unity Fiji in 2018,” said Savenaca Narube.

The Leader of Unity Fiji
added, “For their own convenience, some people still point to the 2018 election results for Unity Fiji. I would like to tell these people that for Unity Fiji, this election will never be like 2018. We can physically sense the momentum of this growing support.”

“More people are now aware of Unity Fiji. They now know who we are and what we stand for. They recognise our strengths and proven ability to take Fiji out of the current mess that we are facing. The great turnout at the AGM has clearly signaled that Unity Fiji has now taken its seat at the table of leadership in Fiji,” said the Leader of Unity Fiji.

Mr. Narube explained to the AGM that he had tried his very best to unite all opposition parties.
He had talked to all opposition leaders on many occasions after the 2018 elections. “I was the only Leader that was trying to unite us. In the interest of the country, I lament the fact that I was not successful. I respect the decisions of the Leaders of political parties not to join a coalition before the elections. But in my view, our combined position would have been much stronger had we joined forces.”


The
Unity Fiji’s AGM reverberated loudly and clearly with three messages. The first was that the people wanted change but to something better than what we have now. The second was that Unity Fiji has the leadership and experience to take Fiji to where we should be. The third was that Unity Fiji had tried its best to unite opposition parties, and with the elections around the corner, it was now time to move on.


“Therefore, Unity Fiji will contest the
2022 elections on our own. We firmly believe that, with our growing support, we will take our seat at the leadership table in Fiji.”

UP YOURS: Will Rabuka give two fingers to his Indo-Fijian candidates in exchange for Prasad sacrificing his i-Taukei NFP candidates. For under the d'Hondht electoral system, both need all the votes to WIN?

WHITE UNDERWEAR SURRENDER: The failed NFP-SVT 1999 candidate and current leader BIMAN PRASAD already surrenders to PAAP PARTY in exchange to become COOLIE Deputy Prime Minister to Sitiveni Rabuka

5/4/2022

JAI RAM TO INDO-FIJIANS FROM NFP:
*As Jai Ram Reddy told you in 1999: 'Fiji is NOT Ready for
an Indo-Fijian Prime Minister',
except for Coupist Rabuka. Just like Biman Prasad, Reddy had made a 360-degree U-Turn from his proclamation in 1994 on Sitiveni Rabuka
*In the 1999 election, FLP leader Mahendra Chaudhry, at the last mass rally in Suva, played a tape recording of Reddy's declaration during the 1994 elections that he (Reddy) would 'never endorse Rabuka for prime minister because of the suffering caused by his coups'. 
*Another leading FLP candidate Dr Tupeni Baba, before an Indo-Fijian audience, derided Reddy for trying to lead them to Rabuka's SVT just as i-Taukei Fijians were deserting it in droves.
*When the final results were announced, Reddy, Biman Prasad, Wadan Narsey, Sitiveni Rabuka and other SVT-NFP candidates were comprehensively defeated under the very 1997 Rabuka-Reddy Constitution of Fiji

SICKENING OBSESSION WITH RABUKA: Fijileaks had strongly defended Prasad, his wife and the NFP over the years. Last year, our Founding Editor advised Prasad to select about 30 i-Taukei Fijian candidates (men and women) of good character, Other minorities, and Indo-Fijians not tainted with coups and the coupists Rabuka and Bainimarama but that NFP leadership should be handed to Lenora Qereqeretabua. It was time for a woman to lead the NFP
*We informed him that
NFP was well placed to sell itself to the voters as an alternative government of all parties and a multi-ethnic set of candidates. He agreed but all along he was secretly in bed with Sitiveni Rabuka and now, with appalling arrogance, says he will be Deputy Prime Minister to a man who on 14 May 1987, one hundred and eight years to the day when their coolie ancestors were introduced into Fiji and marched from plantation to parliament, proclaimed to the world after the 1987 racist coup:
