The National Joint Action Committee (NJAC) has condemned comments made by Laventille West MP Kareem Marcelle during a People’s National Movement (PNM) public meeting in his constituency last Thursday, describing the remarks as divisive and harmful to national unity.
In a statement, NJAC said Marcelle’s comments could only serve to sow division and discord between the country’s two major racial groups and perpetuate what it described as the colonial legacy of divide and rule.
The organisation said such rhetoric belonged to the politics of the 1950s and 1960s and had no place in Trinidad and Tobago’s modern political environment.
