Letters on: Forbes Burnham, Equality of Religion and Balram Singh
- The PPP resents the WPA for playing a leading role in the anti-Burnham struggle
- Rigged elections ruined Burnham's legacy
- Learning from the past
- Burnham made no contribution to a Guyanese identity
- Forbes Burnham made a major contribution to our nation
- The concept of equality of religion was established in 1957
- Burnham left a record of failure
- Minister Balram Singh Rai played a major role in the ending of denominational control of schools
- Burnham must be judged on the effects of his rule
- Neither Brindley Benn nor I recall Dr Ramharack's version of events
- Mr Rai was fulfilling a commitment clearly stated in the PPP manifesto
- Mr Rai deserves some recognition
- Many inaccuracies in Mr Green's letter
- People do not eat symbols
- Official records by themselves cannot help sufficiently to reconstruct the past
- Burnham intervened to set a minimum wage
- A palace it never was
- I saw them with my own eyes
- What limousines could Mr Mair have seen?
- Burnham did have American limousines
- No comparison to presidential residences elsewhere
- Limousines were used for state occasions and special visits
- Mrs. Burnham way off gear
- The excesses of corruption that ground Guyana to poverty under PNC
- Burnham was a strong leader but no demon
- Burnham had an optimistic view of the future
- I judge Burnham's legacy on the state of the nation he left behind
- A lot of foreign exchange was frittered away, huge fuel debt built up
