Harish Sharma, the former Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the National Federation Party (NFP), continues to be a prominent figure in Fiji’s vibrant political landscape. At 92 years old, he recently launched his memoir titled “Road to Parliament: A Glimpse into the Life of Hon. Harish C. Sharma” in Suva.
During the book launch, Finance Minister and current NFP leader Professor Biman Prasad highlighted Mr. Sharma’s extensive experience, having worked with prominent leaders such as NFP founder A.D. Patel, S.M. Koya, and Justice Jai Ram Reddy. “To reach nearly 90 years of age and begin writing memoirs is nothing short of a miracle,” stated Professor Prasad. He further described Mr. Sharma as a man characterized by humility, kindness, decency, integrity, and honesty.
In his speech, Mr. Sharma reflected on his journey and offered encouragement to the younger generation, urging them to set goals and strive to achieve them. He also shared some passages from his book that illustrate the challenges he encountered throughout his life. The event was attended by various notable NFP members.
