AS Guyanese at home and abroad, especially the Hindu community, celebrate the joyous festival of Holi or Phagwah, the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) takes this opportunity to extend greetings to all on this occasion.

Holi is a festival that has truly become national and one that is most anticipated, having transcended religious boundaries. This is manifested through the participation of a wide cross-section of Guyanese throughout the country.

The fun and frolic that have come to be associated with it remain a catalyst for the forging of harmony among all of our people. The kaleidoscope of colours that exemplify the celebrations, heralds the dawn of spring, reminding not only of nature’s beauty, but the vibrancy of our rich diversity.

Our party urges all Guyanese to heed the pertinent message of this festival – that of the triumph of good over evil. The story of Prahalad reinforces that hope must always remain alive for in the end, evil will ultimately be defeated.
Shubh Holi to all!
