Race hate and religious intolerance should not be used to undermine progress

Dec 14, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

The Viraat Sabhaa Guyana opposes the remarks made by the mayor in his condemnation of work executed by the Central Government. His expression of degrading the President as a racist and Muslim leader who wants to create Guyana into a Muslim state has no relevance to his subject.

The Sabhaa has confirmed that since President Ali   ascended to his position, his agenda of uniting Guyana took precedence over everything else. For he is firm in his conviction that only a united Guyana could accelerate the progressive attitude of our people.

The President personal intervention and involvement in programme such as Men on Mission is a testimony to the fact that he is concerned about every gender, that is, men should maximize their support for women and children. President Ali has never deliberately absented himself from any Hindu festivals. As a matter of fact, this year he was personally involved in the Diwali celebrations in Georgetown and other parts of the country. His passionate celebration of Phagwah and his personal visits to various Mandirs is a testimony of his support for the Hindu religion. His contribution to the strengthening of the social and religious fabric is being admired by all with whom he would have come into contact.

How is it a man who is an ambassador of CARICOM and who aspire to create a better Guyana for all, could be accused of racism and religious bias? The Mayor in effort to explore possibilities for the vendors has allowed his emotional overdrive to ventilate these bias accusations of the President. The Viraat Sabhaa denounces such expressions and calls on the Mayor to tender his resignation with immediate effect for making such dangerous statements. The Sabhaa continues to support national development wherein all could benefit. A man is a citizen before he becomes an individual. All citizens should subscribe to full patriotism which could enhance full evolution of the nation.

Kind regards, 

Pt. Rabindranath Persaud, J.P.,
President,
Viraat Sabhaa (Guyana)
