Religious bodies must be an integral part of ‘One Guyana’ foundation –Ali

President Irfaan Ali addressing the gathering at the National Day of Prayer and Fasting

In order for the vision of ‘One Guyana’ to be achieved, religious bodies must play an integral role in building the foundation, according to President Irfaan Ali.

Ali made the statement while addressing a gathering at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre (ACCC) yesterday in observance of the National Day of Prayer and Fasting. The National Day of Prayer and Fasting is a fresh idea under the President’s ‘One Guyana’ banner and came about since the three major faiths – Hindus, Christians and Muslims – are simultaneously observing periods of fasting – Navratri, Lent and Ramadan.
