Winston Dookeran believes it is time for Trinidad and Tobago to discuss changing the national watchwords of discipline, production and tolerance becaue they have alll turned out to be a lie.
"This society is less disciplined today than it has ever been. This society is less productive today than it has ever been and this society is less tolerant today than it has ever been," the leader of the Congress of the People (COP) told people attending a Divali celebration in felicity.
"We have got to start building this nation ourselves," he said. "We build it on fundamental truth. Truth as you know is one of the fundamental aspects of Hindu theology. The search for truth, the desire for justice and the hope for freedom, have been the fundamental pillars upon which strong civilisations have been built.
"Today we accept false hope especially in our Parliament and we must now replace that with truth...Today we accept the fact that leaders can destroy our concept of justice and we must make sure that that does not happen."
The politician urged citizens to build a new society on the basis of truth, freedom and justice.
