Statue of Lord Hanuman installed in temple in Guyana's Sparta, Indian Embassy calls it
Georgetown [Guyana], May 19 (ANI): A 16-feet statue of Lord Hanuman has been inaugurated at the Seeta Ram Radhey Shyam Mandir in Guyana's Sparta on the Essequibo coast on Sunday, the Indian Embassy in Guyana said in a statement. The Embassy called the statue a 'symbol of faith, friendship and firm resolve.' It further said that the statue of Lord Hanuman has been imported from India by the Sooklal family and installed in memory of their parents. The statue was unveiled in front of a large gathering of devotees after a three-day yajna, which began on Friday, Guyana-based news outlet News Room reported. The religious event featured bhajans and cultural presentations, attended by the community together. The installation marks a significant milestone for the temple and the Hindu community in the region, the report said. In a post shared on X, Indian Embassy in Guyana stated, 'A 16 feet Murti of Bhagawan Hanuman ji has been installed in Essequibo at the Seeta Ram Radhey Shyam Mandir in Sparta- as a symbol of faith, friendship and firm resolve. May Lord Bajrangabali bless us in our efforts to forge closer people to people ties between India and Guyana. The Murti has been imported from India by the Sooklal family and installed in memory of their parents and it will continue to guide us in our future endeavors.' In November last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the impact of the Indian diaspora in Guyana and said that 'a Mini India' exists there, where people of Indian origin have become leaders in politics, business, education, and culture. PM Modi made the remarks during the 116th episode of 'Mann Ki Baat' and following his official state visit to Guyana. During the 116th episode of 'Mann ki Baat', PM Modi said, 'I have returned from Guyana, a country in South America, the night before last. Thousands of kilometres away from India, Guyana also has a 'Mini India'. About 180 years ago, people from India were taken to Guyana to work in the fields and for other purposes. Today, people of Indian origin in Guyana are leading Guyana in every field of politics, business, education and culture. Guyana's President Dr Irfan Ali is also of Indian origin, who is proud of his Indian heritage. 'When I was in Guyana, an idea came to my mind - which I am sharing with you in 'Mann Ki Baat' . Just like Guyana, there are millions of Indians in dozens of countries of the world. Their ancestors have their own stories of decades, 200-300 years ago,' he added. Notably, PM Modi was on an official visit to Guyana from November 20 to 22. He became the first Indian Prime Minister to visit the nation in 56 years. Diplomatic ties between India and Guyana have existed since 1965, when a Commission of Indiawas established in Georgetown in May 1965 and was made a full-fledged HighCommissionof India in 1968 after the country got independence on May 26, 1966, according to Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).

Thousands Rally at Egypt-Gaza Border to Reject Trump's Displacement Plan
Thousands of Egyptians from across the country have gathered at the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip to protest US President-elect Donald Trump's recent comments suggesting the forced displacement of Gaza's residents to Egypt and Jordan. آلاف المصريين يحتشدون أمام معبر رفح رفضًا لت هجير الفلسط ينيين من قطاع غز ة.#غرفة_الأخبار — Official_NewsRoom (@NewsDeskroom) January 31, 2025 The mass mobilization, described as the largest of its kind, is a direct response to Trump's controversial rhetoric. Activists have hailed the demonstration as a 'powerful rejection' of the displacement plan and a 'reaffirmation of Egypt's longstanding commitment to Palestinian rights.' Protesters, including political forces, parties, unions, and civil society groups, have condemned Trump's proposal as an 'act of injustice' that would effectively be a 'liquidation of the Palestinian cause.' They stressed that such a move would violate Palestinians' fundamental right to self-determination. Trending on social media was the hashtag #TrumpNoDisplacement, reflecting the public outcry and widespread rejection of the plan. For many Egyptians, the demonstration serves as a reminder of their country's central role in advocating for Palestinian sovereignty. The protests come amid reports that Trump has been pressuring Egypt and Jordan to take in forcibly displaced Palestinians, even hinting at potential aid cuts as leverage. However, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi firmly opposed the suggestion, calling it an 'act of injustice' that would endanger Egypt's security. 'If I asked the Egyptian people about Trump's suggestion, they would take to the streets to reject the displacement of Palestinians,' el-Sisi declared during a press conference. He reaffirmed Egypt's commitment to facilitating a resolution in Palestine based on a 'two-state solution,' a fundamental right that cannot be ignored. The mass mobilization at the Rafah crossing underscores the broader national unity in Egypt in condemning any plans to forcibly displace Palestinians. For the protesters, this demonstration is a powerful message of unwavering support for Gaza and its people.
