An opposition has filed a defamation lawsuit against Prime Minister Gaston Browne for allegedly making \u201coutrageous\u2019 statements against him in Parliament recently.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The lawsuit was filed on Thursday and Browne received the documents on Friday media reports here said.<\/p>\n

\"Browne<\/a>
Prime Minister Gaston Browne<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Daniel, a member of the opposition United Progressive Party (UPP) through his lawyer, Charlesworth Taber, had claimed that Browne had made the statement during a crosstalk in the Parliament Building on January 2, after the Speaker of the House, Sir Gerald Watt, had suspended the sitting due to a disruption in electricity.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

They said that the allegations reportedly made by Prime Minister Browne were therefore not under the protection of parliamentary immunity since the Speaker had already suspended the session.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Daniel had given Prime Minister Browne a two-week deadline to apologise indicating that failure to do so would result in the lawsuit for defamation.<\/p>\n

The January 10 letter to Prime Minister Browne also made reference to the comments he allegedly made on January 6, while speaking on a radio station, which he owns.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Daniel said he had been further injured by statements made by callers and is asking the court for aggravated damages.<\/p>\n
