AFTER considering and reviewing a number of statements made at the recently held political meeting in Buxton, East Coast Demerara, the Guyana Inter Religious Organisation (IRO) wishes to state that, collectively, we as local spiritual and faith-based leaders, hereby condemn those publicly voiced remarks in the strongest terms.

The IRO functions to foster collaborative goodwill, collective graciousness and communal growth among all Guyanese.

For over a decade we have worked with all governments, political organisations, international institutions and stakeholders to help secure religious, ethnic and racial harmony, tolerance and peace.

In light of our patriotic conviction, we the members of the IRO join with the members of the government, the Joint Services, President, Dr. Irfaan Ail, the members of the Opposition who have spoken out against their colleagues and all objective and peace loving Guyanese, in registering our aggrieved sentiments for the ill-conceived and racial utterances of the few who spoke at that Buxton rally.
