PNM deputy po­lit­i­cal leader San­jiv Bood­hu is ques­tion­ing whether busi­ness­man Do­minic Hadeed's re­cent de­ten­tion was linked to his pub­lic crit­i­cism of the Gov­ern­ment's tax­a­tion poli­cies.

Speak­ing at a Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) meet­ing at the Mara­bel­la Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­tre on Thurs­day night, Bood­hu warned that the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) ad­min­is­tra­tion was cre­at­ing the im­pres­sion that it was dan­ger­ous to op­pose the Gov­ern­ment.

Bood­hu point­ed to the se­quence of events sur­round­ing Hadeed's de­ten­tion and ar­gued that it sent a trou­bling mes­sage to the wider pub­lic.
