The People’s Progressive Party/Civic on Sunday celebrated the life and legacy of Dr. Cheddi Jagan and Janet Jagan at Babu Jaan, Port Mourant where their daughter Nadira Jagan-Brancier underlined their simplicity and humility.

She said that she opted not to speak on her father as a politician since his history and legacy are well known throughout the country. She wanted to speak about them as parents whom she was honoured to have adding that even though they had busy lives they always found time to spend with her and her brother, Joey Jagan.

“I am really proud to have had such parents, not just because of who they were politically but who they were as human beings. Their moral values, their high values of integrity, and the way they lived their lives, not just their personal lives but their political lives”, she said.
