Janet Jagan’s contribution to Guyana invaluable – IAC

THE Indian Arrival Committee (IAC) wishes to express its deepest sorrow to the family and relatives of the late former President Janet Jagan and to the members of the People’s Progressive Party on her passing on Saturday, 28 March, 2009.

The IAC recognizes the monumental and indelible contribution made by the late former President in the areas of government, politics, journalism, women’s rights, arts and culture, history and literature, and to the general development of Guyana over a period of sixty-five years since her arrival in this country as the wife of the late Dr. Cheddi Jagan, Father of the Nation.

The IAC recognizes also the tremendous work she did as a fighter for national independence of Guyana for which she was imprisoned by the British; as a co-founder of the PAC, PPP and WPEO (later WPO); as a leading light in the movement for women’s rights; as a Minister in the government; as Prime Minister; and as President (1997-1999).

The IAC believes that she was a good role model, especially for her work ethic and, and for the fact that she had transcended race long before she came to this country.

The IAC recognizes that comrade Janet Jagan, who possessed great ideological clarity and depth, remained steadfast, unwavering and consistent in her beliefs, convictions and positions; and was the driving organizational force, conscience and guardian of the PPP until her demise.

The IAC believes, also, that in the history of this country this multi-dimensional, multi-faceted and multi-talented woman has had a long an illustrious career unequalled by anyone else.
