See below full message from the People’s Progressive Party (PPP):
The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) takes this opportunity to extend Phagwah greetings to all Guyanese, especially the Hindu community.
Phagwah is a festival that has truly become national, having transcended religious boundaries through the participation of a wide cross-section of Guyanese throughout the country.
The kaleidoscope of colours that exemplify the celebrations, heralds the dawn of spring, reminding not only of nature’s beauty but the vibrancy of our rich diversity.
The fun and frolic that have come to be associated with it remain a catalyst for forging harmony among all of our people.
As Guyanese celebrate, the PPP urges that we be inspired by the significance of Phagwah, through its pertinent messages.
The courage, determination, and sacrifice of young Prahalad and the triumph of Lord Vishnu, which speaks to the triumph of good over evil is even relevant on reflection of how our country and people navigated and overcame various challenges.
Let us be motivated by what this colourful festival signifies and be inspired in hope that, through resoluteness in the face of adversity and despondency, the messages of Phagwah speaks to truth inevitably prevailing.
As Guyanese mark the occasion, our Party once again extends best wishes and urges caution, tolerance, and respect in the celebrations.
Shubh Holi to all!
