Group accuses Manning of discrimination
Saturday, August 1st 2009

The Indo Trinbago Equality Council (ITEC) has accused Prime Minister Patrick Manning of discriminating against the East Indian population in this country.

The Council's chairman, Devant Maharaj, in a statement issued yesterday charged that Manning was practising discrimination because over the years he has been noticeably absent at many of the activities commemorating East Indian Arrival Day but has been making his presence felt at those activities commemorating Emancipation Day, which is being celebrated today.



"Mr Manning is very visible during Emancipation Day celebrations. Dressed in appropriate African attire, he endorses Emancipation Day celebrations. This sends a positive signal to corporate and State sponsors and redounds to the benefit of the Afro Trini community. For this we are happy, we are, however ,saddened by the converse absence of PM Manning at Indian Arrival Day celebrations. Maharaj said days before the Indian Arrival Day 2009 celebrations, his organisation wrote Prime Minister Manning to express its concern about his absence at Indian Arrival Day activities and "it was hoped that ITEC's recommendation that the Honourable Prime Minister begin attending Indian Arrival Day be addressed, however the Honourable Prime Minister ignored not only our recommendation but also once again Arrival Day celebrations."



Maharaj said that with allegations of "ethnic cleansing" rife in the air along with many court cases of inequality of treatment against Indians "the Prime Minister appearance at only Emancipation Day celebrations entrenches the already strong perception that the Manning administration has an unwritten ethnic policy that is anti-Indian."


It look like Devant's Memory failing???

[TriniCana]

I agree with Browning. Other doh count, put NONE!

[just cool]

should put abstain, I seriously considering dat....................unless it have ah new type ah revolutionary dat would take over, set tings right, an den return d country to democracy...............sadly there has never really been one ah those.

The only way that could happen is if the military declared marshall law and suspend the govt. and that would be an extremely bad idea in the long run, reasons?

first off, all the foreign investors would more than likely pull out of their ivestments. the progress we made from the summit and all our endeavors be become ah financial hub and a convention haven like dubai and singapore would blow up in our face.

our industries would suffer, as well as tourism.          any more bright ideas?

well we are well aware of these things, I stated that.....err though be it abstractly, especially since our "democracy" is a rotating quasi dictatorship, an d culture of maximum leadership well an truly seasoned in we blood, I highly doubt d military will want to give power back much less be in position to set things "right"

Panday to form his own party
Kimberly Mackhan
Published: 17 Feb 2010

Attorney Ricky Harnanan has been mandated to pinpoint the requirements that Basdeo Panday would need to form another political party, and maintain his position as Leader of the Opposition, according to a well-placed informant.

“Ricky has been asked to prepare a constitution (for Panday’s proposed party) for consideration, in consultation with Ramesh Maharaj, and the discussions with Ramesh have been spearheaded by Kelvin (Ramnath),” said the informant, who was close to Panday. “It includes Ramesh being made chief whip and deputy political leader and political leader-in-waiting (of Panday’s new party).” The informant said that Panday was holding on to his strength of Opposition UNC Members of Parliament (MPs)—his daughter Mikela, brother Subhas, Kelvin Ramnath, Ramesh Maharaj, Vasant Bharath, Dr Hamza Rafeeq and Dr Tim Gopeesingh—to prevent his rival, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, from removing and replacing him as Opposition Leader. Persad-Bissessar, who defeated Panday to become political leader of the Opposition United National Congress (UNC), indicated last week that she needed the written support of one more Opposition MP for President George Maxwell Richards to appoint her to the post of Opposition Leader.

Basdeo Panday
Richard Lord

Former Opposition Leader Basdeo Panday says a new political party may be formed in T&T. Panday made the statement during a brief interview yesterday. Asked to comment on the state of affairs within the Opposition United National Congress (UNC) and moves to achieve opposition unity, Panday said: “If they (party leaders) continue to be spiteful and agonise enough people, maybe they (the agonised) would form a new political party, which would defeat the entire process of unity.”

Asked if he was expected to play any role in that exercise, Panday quickly responded: “No, no, no. I now have the time to do a lot of the things I always wanted to do and I am enjoying my life.” Panday said he was studying literature, listening to music and reading books. He said he has resumed work on his autobiography. He said any attempt to achieve opposition unity would be unsuccessful if the leaders could not genuinely come together. He said there must be meaningful discussions among the leaders if the opposition has to engage the ruling People’s National Movement (PNM) in a one-on-one election battle.

And Panday has welcomed the move by the Government to lay the controversial, unsanitised report of the Uff Commission of Enquiry into the Construction Sector and the Urban Development Corporation of T&T (Udecott) in the Senate. “It was the right thing to do,” Panday added. He said, however, that there was the real danger of libelling innocent people by tabling the document in the Parliament. But he quickly countered saying that most of the people interviewed and named in the report would have been cross-examined in the commission hearings before chairman Prof John Uff. (RL)
