Hardeo Hardath


Hardeo Hardath was a former member of parliament for the district of Nariva in Trinidad and Tobago. A member of the People's National Movement, he was first elected as MP in 1971, and chose not to stand for reelection in 1986 after "a stinging attack on the Party leadership". Hardath had complained that his constituency, and Indian party members as well, did not get the attention they deserved from the PNM. Raffique Shah, columnist for the Trinidad and Tobago News, said that Hardath "opened his mouth in Parliament only when he yawned".
