"I am hopeful that your prayers would redound to the benefit of all of us. I am hopeful that your collective mantras can deliver some semblance of love for people, for nation and for our children.
As the Chairman of the UNC, I wish to say that in due course we must have deliberations on ways in which your religious observations can be enhanced.
We must talk about what keeps you back and what can take you forward as a religious group. Open dialogue between religious groups and politicians must not be feared but must be welcomed as a means of perpetuating your firm beliefs for generations to come.
Our politics of change and your religious virtues must co-exist and be one.
We must live harmoniously and as melodiously as your sweet sounding mantras to Lord Shiva.
On behalf of the Political leader, Mrs. Kamla Persad Bissessar; on behalf of the UNC and on my own personal behalf, Happy Maha Shiv Ratri."
