UPDATED: 10:20am – As Fijians we should not discriminate against any of our fellow Fijians on the basis of their religion, ethnicity, race, province or social status.

This was stressed by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama while speaking at the fundraiser for the redevelopment of the Shree Sanatan Dharam Pratinidhi Sabha Rewa Branch.

Bainimarama says he believes that every Fijian regardless of our background, our beliefs, our status, where we live  deserves an equal role in the progress of our nation and an equal share in the prosperity we bring to our shores.

He says we should all work together so that we appoint the best people irrespective of their background to deliver the best service to our people.

Bainimarama stressed that this is why the government appoints people to positions whether as Ministers, CEO, board members or civil servants on merit.

He adds when we appoint people on merit, we will get the job done well and we will also ensure that all Fijians get the best outcome.

The Prime Minister also said that he had admiration and appreciation for the Sanatan community in Fiji saying any young person in Fiji who has attended a Sanatan educational institution or spent time within their community knows full well that their contributions to Fiji have made our nation a better place to call home.

The development plans for the Sanatan Dharam Pratinidhi Sabha Rewa Branch include a new temple, multipurpose hall, and Ashram.

It will also be constructing a museum that will tell the stories and the history of the Girmitya in Fiji.
