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:
