Pandit Granger delivering Diwali Speech. Story.
Quote:
Said the President: “Diwali is particularly important for us, because it is the Festival of Lights. It is the festival which symbolises the victory of light over darkness, of knowledge over ignorance, of togetherness over divisiveness and is a lesson that all Guyanese could learn that it is not only a Hindu thing, it is a national thing.”
Noting that anything which brings Guyanese closer together is a good thing, the president said that every region across Guyana should hold Diwali observances, as it is a national celebration.
President Ganger can break the barrier of disunity,if on behalf of the PNC,he offered an apology to the nation especially the East Indians,the atrocities committed by it's former leader Forbes Burnham.
He may even get an Indian name like Desmond Hoyte who was called Desmond Persaud for the reforms he initiated after Burnhan death.
