Attorney Robin Montano has sued Hindu Credit Union (HCU) Harry Harnarine for what Montano claims are defamatory statements made about him on a radio program. Monatno is also suing the HCU's communications subsidiary which operates the radio station, using a licence leased from a private company.Montano's attorneys Anand Ramlogan and Cindy Bhagwandeen filed the writ Friday in the San Fernando High Court, claiming "aggravated/exemplary damages and costs".
The former Senator claims that on May 30 Shakti Radio broadcast a live program in which Harnarine allegedly made libellous statements about Montano.
Montano claims that the statements were made as part of a strategy by the defendants to create an impression that Montano had a vendetta against the credit union/Indians/Hindus.
Montano says the statements were aimed to boost the credibility of the credit union and Harnarine.
Montano said the context of Harinarine's words was defamatory and the "natural and ordinary meaning" of the words defamed him because they were made "with the intent to scandalise and embarrass" him.
Montano is claiming that his character had been seriously injured and he had suffered discredit to his reputation in his professional life, indignity, loss and damages.
