Pundit Satyanand Maharaj is slamming the Medical Board for what he sees as its silence on the recent racist outburst by a doctor in south Trinidad.

Pundit Maharaj says the doctor must be held accountable for his action.

A viral audio clip said to be the doctor berating his employee was made public last week.

Speaking with Newscenter 5 yesterday Pundit Maharaj said the silence from those in authority is alarming.

The religious leader also said the fact the doctor felt embolden to speak about such an issue without consequence, shows how divided the society is at this time.

Pundit Maharaj described the action of the doctor as repulsive and unacceptable.

The Medical Association has condemned the contents of the conversation, which has been shared many times on social media.

The association has called on the Medical Board to investigate and take the appropriate action.

Meanwhile the Council of the Medical Board of Trinidad and Tobago is expected to meet today on the issue

It follows calls from Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh for the board to probe the matter.
