Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessasr said on Tuesday the Education Ministry must immediately launch an investigation into allegations of racism at the Tunapuna Hindu School.
“Should those allegation be true that is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” Persad-Bissessar added.
She commented on the matter following the launch of the “Colour Me Orange” project at the Hilton.
The Opposition PNM has called for investigation, claiming that the Maha Sabha had asked the principal not to admit black children to the school. However, the secretary general of the religious organisation, Sat Maharaj, immediately denied that and produced statistics to prove his point.
Persad-Bissessar said the Education Ministry should investigate. “We’ll see what they have to say but should those allegations be true, it is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated. There should be no discrimination anywhere in this country.”
