Attack on Reddy unwarranted
THE letter by Sanjay Singh, “Be wary of motive of those seemingly fighting for the poor”, (IOS, August 11) cannot be left unchallenged.
Why is it that when brave people stand up for what they believe is right and are supported by the majority of people, you will get the likes of Sanjay Singh and Bachu Jayraj, who come to put them down? Give credit where credit is due.
Visvin Reddy had the courage to begin a campaign, which has gained national momentum, against the high fuel prices. Where were Jayraj and Singh all these years? They had this information about fuel pricing but chose to write letters to the media. These are letter-writing activists who think they can make a difference by doing that.
I am one of those who don’t support politicians because, in my opinion, they are all self serving.
I supported Reddy’s call to action because he provided facts and evidence, which made it clear that the government was fleecing the people through fuel price increases.
Reddy made it clear that the People Against Petrol and Paraffin Price Increases (PAPPPI) was not aligned to any political party and was set up to mobilise people against the exorbitant increases.
It is worth noting that political parties started raising their objections only after PAPPPI was formed.
Reddy is doing a superb job heading PAPPPI and we are behind him 100%.
