President Irfaan Ali while paying tribute to former presidents Cheddi and Janet Jagan at Babu Jaan yesterday stressed that racism will not be allowed to succeed in Guyana under his government; he warned that the days of those who push such an agenda are numbered.
He stated, “We will disband, destroy and completely wipe out the weapon of racism that continues to be used against the people of this country. And those who handle the weapon must understand that their days are numbered and their days are coming to an end because that weapon is being destroyed globally and that weapon will be buried here in Guyana.
“Comrade Cheddi lived for the working class but he did not live to see the working class remain the working class or remain in poverty, he lived to uplift them out of poverty.”
