Dear Editor,
The month of March is dedicated by the PPP to the memory of the late Dr Cheddi Jagan, who is regarded by many as the Father of this Nation. The theme of this year’s commemorative activities is ‘Cheddi Jagan: Man of the people.’
Dr Jagan was always energetic and pursued his political tasks with amazing zest and passion. He was once asked to explain his ability to cope with the high demands of political and personal life and he answered as follows:
“Moderate eating, no smoking, no drinking, preventative medicine, regular exercise, commitment to the cause of our nation and to the people, particularly the working people, confidence in what I stand for is bound to win, based not only on wishful thinking but on a scientific analysis and pre-vision of future developments, a closely knit and happy family life, are the secrets of my continued good health.”
Yours faithfully,
Hydar Ally
