THE People’s Progressive Party (PPP) extends Diwali greetings to all Guyanese — more particularly, our Hindu brothers and sisters.Diwali, which is known as the Festival of Lights, is symbolic of the triumph of good over evil. This is indeed a message that resonates with humanity throughout the world, especially where there exist social and economic injustice and the suppression of the fundamental human rights.

“The PPP fully embraces the message and symbolism of Diwali, and takes this opportunity to assure all Guyanese that the darkness which now pervades this land will be replaced by a more enlightened dispensation; one in which the full creativity and the expressed will of all Guyanese will prevail.”

According to the PPP, it is aware of some elements in our society who are seeking to distort the true meaning and significance of Diwali out of narrow partisan interest, and it calls on them to desist from playing politics with this sacred festival.

“Once again Happy Diwali Greetings to one and all”.
