Former Home Minister Sheikh Imran Abdulla, a leading figure in the "National Movement," has stated that Attorney General Ahmed Usham must resign before President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, further asserting that legal charges will be pursued against the Attorney General.
Speaking at a protest held Wednesday night, Imran strongly criticized the Ras Male' project, which the government is working to implement.
Imran stated that Attorney General Usham was present at a meeting involving senior government officials and military personnel, where discussions were held regarding the allocation of 500 hectares of land—described as the Maldivian people's most precious asset—to a Zionist.
Imran stated that during the meeting, a patriotic individual requested a deposit of $500 million—or at least $250 million if the full amount was not feasible—into the bank to help alleviate the dollar shortage. However, Imran noted that Usham remained silent despite hearing these appeals. He argued that for an official tasked with protecting the state and the law to remain silent in such matters is a clear justification for resignation.
Furthermore, Imran stated that these discussions involved numerous confidential transactions.
We have given Brother Abdullah so much, so many times! Time and time again, we have provided for him. Finally, I say this: that is a big secret—it is a big secret! A big secret... that is a big secret! But it is not a secret to us, is it? Listen closely, all citizens! Usham must resign. He can stay and listen, but he cannot deny this. He cannot deny it. Once again, this government of liars will have to resort to yet another major fabrication.Sheikh Imran Abdulla
Asserting that the nation's laws are not being enforced and that national interests are being sold out in acts of betrayal, Imran declared that charges would be brought against Attorney General Usham. He further vowed that those who have betrayed the nation, the religion, and the motherland would be brought to justice.
Furthermore, Imran called upon all citizens to stand up in opposition to the Ras Male' project.
