[www.inewsguyana.com] – In addressing thousands of persons at the Indian Arrival Committee’s (IAC) “Hamara Guyana Concerts” at the National Stadium on Friday evening (May 01), former President, Bharrat Jagdeo reminded of the long and hard journey of their ancestors, urging the gathering not to lose perspective of the struggles made.
According to Jagdeo, the fight for dignity that Indians achieved is constantly under threat “through bullyism and the unwillingness to accept that times have changed and the old methods of repression cannot work in this era”.
He told the gathering that those who are the purveyors of this past, now “come in new guises,” warning of long dark days if freedom is taken away.
“If we allow ourselves to have this freedom snatched away from us then it would be long dark days for our country again and our ancestors would never be proud of us”.
