Former Attorney General Anand Ramlogan SC says critics of the Government’s proposed Stand Your Ground law should give up their US visas if they are serious about opposing the legislation.
Speaking at a public consultation at the Fyzabad office of MP Dave Tancoo on Friday night, Ramlogan said, “To all those persons who are going to speak against this bill, if you so against Stand Your Ground legislation, give back your US visa. Stop going Miami and Florida to shop and say on principle, I do not support Stand Your Ground legislation. So I'm not going by Uncle Sam.”
He added, “All of them people criticising this legislation, give them a chance, they lining up from the two nights before to get their visa to go and want to live [in] America… where this law exists… where they will feel safer… where they will find a peace of mind. But why? You know why? Because of laws like this.”
