Assistant Minister of Woman, Children and Poverty Alleviation and the Chair of the Girmit celebrations, Sashi Kiran

Assistant Minister of Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation and the Chair of the Girmit celebrations, Sashi Kiran says the thanksgiving and reconciliation service being organised by the Methodist Church of Fiji is significant as it will assist in healing the nation as a whole.

Kiran says a lot has happened in the last 140 years, it is a humbling approach and it needs a leader of courage that Reverend Vunisuwai has shown in having a lot of strength in being able to confront the issues of the past.

She hopes the Indo Fijian community will turn up in numbers to reciprocate the love and the acknowledgment of the past, so we can build together the foundation for the future.

Kiran says there is a lot of hurt and we all have to set the foundation right.
