“Our party, our founder leaders, the late A.D. Patel, the late S.M. Koya were instrumental with the late Prime Minister Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara in negotiating Fiji’s independence.”
Prasad says the Coalition Government strives to foster unity for prosperity, with the recognition of the diverse religious and racial groups that exist in Fiji.
He says it has therefore restored the celebration of Ratu Sukuna Day and Girmit Day and has also established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Prasad says the government is confident in undertaking actions that will deal with any uncertainty among Fijians.
