Chaudhry calls for truth on 2000 coup. Call me a pessimist if you like but I don’t think the call by former Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry whose government was violently removed in the 2000 coup, will get the truth from the 2000 coup front man George Speight following his release from prison after 24 years.
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth will never be revealed for the 2000 coup.
The same is true for the 1987 coup and the 2006 coup.
Vested interests will ensure the truth remains buried. Mark my word on this.
I believe the only thing the victims of the atrocities committed by the Speight mob want is never to have a repeat of the traumatic political turmoil that happened then in their beloved country.
