In a speech to the United Nations, Commodore Frank Bainimarama said the Fiji military had been forced to remove the government in 2006.
"There have been critics of events in Fiji since December 2006 when the military was forced to remove the government of Fiji," he said on Saturday.
"I bet that these critics are largely unaware of the extent to which politicians, in league with those who employ terror as a tactic to push the racial supremacy and corrupt agenda, had become a threat to the safety and security of our people.
But Peceli Kinivuwai, the general secretary of the Soqosoqo Duavata ni Lewenivanua (SDL) party, which was ousted in the 2006 coup, says the former government was a multi-party government, and Commodore Bainimarama must produce evidence that politicians instigated racial hatred.
He said the United Nations has been following the situation in Fiji and will not believe Commodore Bainimaramas claims.
No-one would be fooled or hoodwinked by that word, theyd be laughing to themselves because he is the one who has instilled terror, he is the one who has instilled guns, he is the one who has removed the democratically elected government by force. It was never done by politicians.
He said Commodore Bainimarama was trying to shift the blame now his regime has become internationally isolated.
Though attention grabbing, the comments are unconvincing, said Dr Brij Lal, a Fijian academic at Australia National University (ANU)
"It was the most incredible part of this speech but I don't think that people will take this seriously. The question of who is a terrorist and who is not - it's one that's very clear in the minds of people." Dr Lal told Radio Australia.
