Jumhooree Party leader and MP for Maamigili, Gasim Ibrahim has called all to strive hard to maintain and preserve the victory day of Maldives.
Speaking to Miadhu Daily in view of the celebration of the Victory Day of Maldives this year, Gasim said that Allah only grants victory to those who strive hard to attain it.
Gasim Ibrahim said that the victory that the people of Maldives achieved on 3 November 1988 was a success that should be written in gold in the Maldivian history.
“At dawn people were awoken by the firing of machine guns and AK-47s. Many people thought that the National Security service were training for November 11. Therefore some people without knowing the reality tried to goto to the Republican Square to witness the trainings. Many were martyred and their innocent blood were shed by the aggressive terrorists,” he said.
Gasim said that the people of Maldives is proud at the steadfastness, courage and valour displayed by the Maldivian soldiers on that fateful day.
“During that time Police and the army worked under one institution as one team. They both worked steadfast in the face of the enemies,” he said.
Gasim said that the example shown by the soldiers deserves even international recognition. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the heroes of the National Security Service.
In addition to this, he said that the sacrifice of the Maldivians on that day is the highest of sacrifices and martyrdom. The people of Maldives displayed unity and harmony even when the enemies surrounded them, he said.
