Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – Please allow me a space in your newspaper to highlight an issue that has been occurring at Hindus wedding in Leguan.
As you know, Hindus follow different rituals when having a wedding. It‘s a three days ceremony– which is maticore, jandi and the wedding. However, the police in Leguan are showing up with loud horn and obstructing the Pandit from even carrying out their ritual.
Imagine they are telling the Pandit to hurry with the ceremony. Mind you, the residents hosting the wedding are not even allowed to play a little music even when all COVID-19 protocols are followed. It’s like, you are at a funeral and not at a wedding.
And while the police censorship of the wedding is becoming the norm, the rum shops are all filled with people drinking and you won’t see the police there but why at weddings when that is only a once in a lifetime thing. How fair is that to these people hosting weddings in Leguan? How fair is it what is happening to the Hindu community? Can Minister Vindhya Persaud look at this nonsense that has been happening? The authorities should address this issue hastily. The people of Leguan are really tired of this harassment.
