THE People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) extends greetings, best wishes and divine blessings to all Guyanese, especially members of the Hindu Community, on the national holiday “Deepavali”.This religious festival is unique in its spiritual context and the significance which it holds for our nation.

The party said in a release: “As the rows of diyas are lit, it is time to focus on changing the lives of all Guyanese for the better. Falling standards and moral decay must be arrested in order to bring our nation to a level acceptable to the world…

“On this occasion, it is hoped that the lit diyas will usher in light, love, unity, prosperity and happiness to all Guyanese, especially the underprivileged. Let Deepavali this year be a time of deep reflection and the making of a solemn resolve to bring our nation out of the darkness into the light.

“A joyous and happy Deepavali to all Guyanese.”
