Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan yesterday again defended his choice of November 10th as the date for the observation of Diwali, while saying that 90 Pandits and Swamis have provided him with the rationalisation for the decision.
Ramjattan offered his explanation in a letter to prominent citizen Yesu Persaud, who had a day earlier written the Minister expressing support for the selection by Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha (GHDS) President Dr Vindhya Persaud of November 11th as the date for the observation.
