LEADER of Government Business in the House of Representatives and the UNC women's league have defended Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar for remarks she made towards Diego Martin North/East MP Colm Imbert in the House of Representatives on November 21. They said Persad-Bissessar has nothing to apologise for.

Padarath, who is also Public Utilities Minister and Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), also made it clear the UNC will not be bullied by anyone inside or outside of the Parliament.

He said this "is no longer an option."
