Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh says he is not afraid of the backlash over his condemnation of Samantha Ramischand.

And he says he would do it again if he has to.

Earlier this week Minister Deyalsingh slammed Ms. Ramischand after she posted a video of herself on social media at a beach saying her family privately owned it.

The Minister was severely criticized by her father Attorney Odai Ramischand who used colourful language against the Minister for his comments.

At yesterday’s COVID-19 media briefing, Minister Deyalsingh said he is not afraid to speak the truth.

The Minister said he has no regrets for the comments he made.
