THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) extends Eid ul-Fitr greetings to the Muslim Community in Guyana and the Diaspora as the Holy Month of Ramadan comes to an end.Our Party is aware of the tremendous sacrifices adherents of Islam would have made during the fasting month and extends best wishes as they celebrate through the Eid festivities.
The teachings of Islam remove all barriers among mankind, reiterating that all are equal. This is a universal lesson and our Party believes that all, regardless of belief, can benefit if efforts are made to heed this teaching. Islam, which promotes peace, has been exemplary, despite challenges, in promoting togetherness.
Here in Guyana, Islam has remained an integral part of our culture and related observances have transcended religious boundaries. This has been a pillar in the harmonious relationship amongst our people, in this multi-religious society.  Charity (Zakat)  is pivotal to Muslims during this time and here in Guyana many, would have benefited.
The PPP would also like to commend all Muslims for their invaluable contributions made, especially during this time, to the welfare of others and for the fostering of the noble teachings of Islam. Our Party hopes that the many  blessings which are associated with Ramadan would be bestowed upon all, especially those who have made the sacrifice.
We would also like to assure all Guyanese, that like our Muslim brothers and sisters, the PPP will continue to make the sacrifice to protect Guyana’s democracy and the significant economic strides our country has made over the past 23 years.
We are committed to making the sacrifice to ensure that the gains we have made over the past two decades are not reversed through poor management of the state.
As Ramadan ends, the observances of Eid-ul-Fitr offers an opportunity to celebrate the sacrifices made.
Once again, the PPP extends best wishes for this observance.
Eid Mubarak
People’s Progressive Party
