The People’s Progressive Party extends best wishes to the Guyanese people and to the Christian Community in particular on the occasion of Easter.
The Easter message, the party said is an inspirational one which deals with human society, its trials and tribulations and the ultimate triumph of justice and truth. It is

obvious that in his lifetime Jesus Christ was slandered, lied upon and persecuted by various groups who wanted to deny his works.
They ended up murdering him, crucifying him on a cross in a most brutal way. However two thousand years later we are observing his death and his triumph. The story of Christ has many lessons for us in Guyana. “The PPP/C government has worked tirelessly to bring peace, progress and prosperity to the people of Guyana. We have achieved a lot for this country, turning it from the poorest and most indebted in 1992 to become the hope and pride of the Caribbean due to its social and economic performance.
However forces, some of which bore direct responsibilities for the destruction of Guyana before 1992, are working hard to stop the progress that we have made. The consistent and persistent attacks are aimed at creating a false consciousness as to what is happening in Guyana, trying to re-write history and creating the belief that conditions were better during the PNC’s rule.
They are working on the young minds because the youths did not experienced that era. However, the PPP has every faith in the triumph of good over evil and triumph of truth over lies. There should be no “innocent bystanders” we must take a stand and let our voices be heard against the lies and slanders, no one should be a Pontius Pilate. We have confidence in the collective wisdom of our people, and we know that they will recognise the lies and slanders that are being peddled daily in Guyana. As the message of Christ triumphed so too the message and works of the PPP/C Government will be acclaimed because we are working in the interest of all our people.
