Updated: 10:10pm – Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum has demanded National Federation Party Leader Professor Biman Prasad to take action against Party’s provisional candidate Feroz Mohammed for his once again racial statements.
Mohammed replying to an email that was sent to several people including FBC News, said that both Sayed-Khaiyum and Faiyaz Koya are claiming to be Hindu’s now and have been actively involved in Sanatan prayer ceremony.
He alleges that just to gather votes the two Ministers sold their ‘iman’ or faith.
This was in response to the email sent by one Mohammed Yunus who says that Faiyaz Koya’s father could not become the Prime Minister of Fiji when NFPwon the election in April 1977.
He further wrote that Koya became acting Prime Minister in the Bainimarama government.
Also included in the email was that the AG has been acting as Prime Minister a number of times and is Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama’s right hand man.
The Attorney General in an email to the NFP Leader has questioned what he will do about Mohammed’s bigotry.
Sayed-Khaiyum says he already brought this to Prasad’s attention as a matter of courtesy, after one of their Parliamentary sittings.
He says it is apparent Prasad didn’t do anything the first time and Mohammed has continued down this bigoted path with impunity.
Sayed-Khaiyum says this is the type of environment Prasad and his your candidates are seeking to create in Fiji by actively being involved or accepting it.
The Attorney General says for the sake of our country, he implores that Prasad stop being a political opportunist and direct all NFP candidates, NFP officials and NFP supporters to immediately stop such divisive and unpatriotic behavior.
Meanwhile the NFP Leader says he will respond to the allegation through the media because the AG had raised his concerns on the matter through the media.
