MP for St Au­gus­tine Khadi­jah Ameen’s le­gal team has is­sued a pre-ac­tion pro­to­col let­ter to so­cial me­dia blog­ger Rho­da Bharath’s Newsauce to re­move and apol­o­gise for her post where she al­leged MP Ameen played a role in procur­ing fake vac­ci­na­tion cards for her con­stituen­cy staff.

In a press re­lease is­sued by Ms Ameen this af­ter­noon, she stat­ed that “I usu­al­ly do not di­rect­ly re­spond to these rep­re­hen­si­ble com­ments and ac­cu­sa­tions es­pe­cial­ly from PNM trolls, but we can­not al­low per­sons to shame­less­ly at­tack an in­di­vid­ual’s char­ac­ter with­out any sub­stan­ti­a­tions and with­out con­se­quences.”

The fol­low­ing is a press re­lease from MP Ameen:

MP Ameen’s le­gal team is­sued a Pre-Ac­tion Pro­to­col Let­ter to so­cial me­dia blog­ger Rho­da Bharath’s Newsauce to re­move and apol­o­gise for her post where she al­leged MP Ameen played a role in procur­ing fake vac­ci­na­tion cards for her con­stituen­cy staff.

Al­though, Miss Bharath could not be found by the serv­er yes­ter­day and the day be­fore that (Wednes­day and Thurs­day), MP Ameen said she re­ceived a call from her at­tor­ney this morn­ing (Fri­day 14th Jan­u­ary 2022) con­firm­ing that Miss Bharath was in fact served at 11:02 am. 

MP Ameen has adamant­ly de­nied the se­ri­ous al­le­ga­tions cir­cu­lat­ing from the paid PNM blog­ger. The blog­ger ac­cused MP Ameen of par­tic­i­pat­ing in a crim­i­nal of­fence of procur­ing fake Covid-19 vac­cine cards with­out a shred of ev­i­dence. 

MP Ameen stat­ed, “I usu­al­ly do not di­rect­ly re­spond to these rep­re­hen­si­ble com­ments and ac­cu­sa­tions es­pe­cial­ly from PNM trolls, but we can­not al­low per­sons to shame­less­ly at­tack an in­di­vid­ual’s char­ac­ter with­out any sub­stan­ti­a­tions and with­out con­se­quences.”

Through­out these al­le­ga­tions, MP Ameen has main­tained that vac­ci­na­tion is not a re­quire­ment for em­ploy­ment or for con­stituents to ac­cess ser­vices at her of­fice un­like in the pub­lic ser­vice where thou­sands are be­ing threat­ened with job loss in the gov­ern­ment’s vac­cine man­date that it la­bels a “Qua­si safe zone pol­i­cy”.

MP Ameen ren­dered, “In the face of these base­less ac­cu­sa­tions, I wish to thank those who have ex­pressed sup­port pub­licly, and per­son­al­ly ei­ther in per­son or via phone. I wish to as­sure the con­stituents of St. Au­gus­tine that I will con­tin­ue to serve with in­tegri­ty and I will not be in­tim­i­dat­ed in my rep­re­sen­ta­tion of their needs.”

MP Ameen main­tained that she will not be in­tim­i­dat­ed by these ut­ter­ly dis­grace­ful tac­tics by the PNM.
