PNC’s Hussain: Zionist agents must not be allowed to touch Maldivian soil, and silence on national interests is not an option

Hussain Shareef, the Member of Parliament for the North Hulhumale' constituency, has asserted that the deceitful agents of the brutal Zionist regime must not be allowed to infringe upon even a single grain of sand within the sovereign territory of the Maldives. He emphasized that the duty owed to the nation far outweighs the interests of any individual or specific group.

MP Shareef made these remarks through a series of posts shared on X over several days. Accompanied by images symbolizing Maldivian unity, his posts clearly demonstrate strong opposition to the government's Ras Male' project. In particular, the posts underscore his deep dissatisfaction regarding the government's decision to lease a significant portion of Ras Male' to Eagle Hills for a period of 99 years.

Shareef stated, "As long as my heart beats, I will stand by my religion and my nation, no matter the circumstances." He further expressed that even imagining the situation in Gaza is heartbreaking. He described the perpetrators—who have mercilessly and heartlessly displaced innocent children from their homes—as tyrannical Zionists.

Shareef asserted that not a single grain of Maldivian sand should be touched by the oppressive Zionists, both for the sake of the Palestinian people and the deep-seated love for their cause held by Maldivians. He further emphasized that it is the brutal entities known as Israel who are massacring innocent Palestinian children.

Furthermore, he stated that it is unacceptable to seek proximity with the Zionists, whom he described as devoid of any shred of humanity. He emphasized that remaining silent when the interests of Islam and the nation are at stake is something that can never be justified. He further asserted that no space should be granted on Maldivian soil for the introduction of foreign religious customs or cultures, nor for any base activities that could tarnish or dilute human dignity.

MP Shareef further emphasized that the fundamental pillar for ensuring "The Maldives of the Maldivians" remains secure is to completely close all doors to vile practices that are alien to Islam and human dignity. He condemned the atrocities committed by the Zionists, stating that only those whose minds are clouded would fall into their deceitful traps. He added that anyone with even a shred of humanity would not perpetrate such immense cruelty, slaughtering our vulnerable Palestinian brothers and sisters and reducing their homes to rubble.

It is understood that five members of the ruling coalition have expressed strong opposition to the Ras Male' project. Sources indicate that President Muizzu has met with these members, and that his dissatisfaction regarding the matter has also been directed toward Shareef.
