While addressing an event in Male, Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, said that President Muizzu should seek dialogue with neighboring nations to overcome financial challenges.
The bill, submitted by Maldivian Democratic Party, states that if the date of the election coincides with day of Ramadan, polls shall be held 10 days after end of Ramadan.
Two top Opposition parties boycotted Muizzu’s speech. They are against the Maldivian President’s stark “anti-India” pivot and hold a majority in the House.
Muizzu told Parliament he'd ‘remain steadfast’ & not give in to any external pressure. The 2 main oppn parties boycotted his inaugural address at start of final session of Parliament.
77 unarmed Indian military personnel are present as part of an MoU between two countries. MEA’s statement on talks held between two countries has no mention of troop withdrawal.
In joint statement, Maldivian Democratic Party & Democrats say 'alienating any development partner, especially the most long-standing ally, extremely detrimental to long-term development'.
The 13-yr-old had suffered a stroke. Maldivian opposition leaders are criticising President Muizzu for not using Dornier aircraft given by India, to airlift child to Malé.
