Jumhooree Party Leader, Gasim Ibrahim said that he is trying to save the people from being lead to poverty as there is a big possibility that sanctions might be imposed on Maldives.
Gasim Ibrahim made this remark following his return to Maldives after visiting Sri Lanka. He said that the international community interprets the charges against Former President Mohamed Nasheed and former Defence Minister Mohamed Nazim as a big joke.
“There is no one who believes it. Everyone knows that these charges are politically motivated and we are being framed by the government,” he said.
The Jumhooree Party leader said that if sanctions are imposed then the country will be plunged into poverty.
He said that everything will come to a stop if sanctions are imposed. He said that this includes the job opportunities within development programs of the government.
“I want to remind the government. I want to remind the independent institutions that the nation is in a perilous situation. Resolve these issues before it is too late,” he said.
Gasim requested the authorities to conduct the trial of Nasheed and Nazim transparently and also to air it on TV if possible.
In view of the Friday’s mass gathering organized by Jumhooree Party and MDP, Gasim said that it was successful and was held peacefully as planned.
