The Prime Minister Stuart Young has accused the UNC of paying criminals to harass PNM supporters during the election campaign leading up to the General Election on April 28.

Young made the accusation as police confirmed that a local “Trinibad” artiste was arrested on April 11, in connection with a viral video allegedly depicting him making threats of violence against people believed to be supporters of a certain political party.

Speaking at a PNM political rally at the Croisee in San Juan, Young said it was upsetting to him that the opposition party would resort to dirty tactics.
