The People’s Progressive Party has declared that good will inevitably triumph over evil while noting that the colourful Phagwah festival celebrates the coming of spring on one hand and on the other the story of Prince Prahalad whose deep convictions protected him from evil.
The party pointed out that this is a story of the victory of good over evil and it extended best wishes to Guyanese generally and to the Hindu community in particular.
According to the ruling party, the Phagwah holiday is taking place in a world in which the struggle for justice between and within countries is continuing unabated.
“Phagwah reminds us that such a struggle is noble and we must continue to rededicate ourselves to serving our people, defending and protecting their interests. It reminds us that we must intensify the battle against the evils of poverty so that all our people could realize their potentials.”
The PPP then invited “all citizens to let us work to ensure that we constantly improve the quality of life for all Guyanese.” “This is a noble task,” the PPP said, “and we do it in the conviction that good will inevitably triumph over evil.”
