Georgetown – President Bharrat Jagdeo believes that application of the messages in the Holy Quran to a society grappling with many social ills, is enlightening enough to catalyse change for the better.
The Head of State was at the time speaking in the presence of a large gathering of Muslims at the Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG) on Woolford Avenue on the occasion of Youman Nabi.
“The cardinal thing that we must all subscribe to is enlightenment of our minds through religious and secular education because if we are educated then we start freeing our minds,” President Jagdeo said.
The Head of State also called for a firm stance against racism, especially with national elections around the corner and proposed a media campaign to aggressively fight such bigoted sentiments.
