Nandlall apologises for statement made at Stabroek Square

See below the full statement from the Attorney General: 

Last evening, at a public meeting at Stabroek Square, I made some comments which unfortunately did not accurately convey my intention. For my lack of clarity, I offer my unqualified and unreserved apology.

The public record will reflect that I have always described slavery as, by far, the worst tragedy in recorded history. My intention was not born out of ill-will or any form of disrespect whatsoever. It was to condemn attempts at racial division in our country. I regard the unity of our people as indispensable to the advancement of our nation.

Again, I offer my humble apologies for any unintended disrespect conveyed or offence committed.
