President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu is a leader who auctions off the nation's foreign policy to any party offering a sum of money, stated Meekail Ahmed Naseem, the Member of Parliament for the South Galolhu constituency. He further asserted that if a referendum were held today regarding the government's Ras Male' project, it would fail to secure even 15 percent of the vote.
Speaking on RaajjeTV’s "Fala Surukhee" program, Meekail stated that the current administration rose to power by campaigning under the "India Out" banner and promoting that slogan. However, he noted that since assuming office, the government has sought and secured Indian assistance in various forms.
Meekail stated that while the government continues to seek assistance from India, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s administration is quick to surrender the nation’s sovereignty to any other country as soon as alternative funding becomes available. He further alleged that during such moments, the government resumes its anti-India rhetoric.
Meekail characterized President Muizzu as a leader who would compromise the nation's foreign policy for anyone offering a sum of money.
Speaking on the government's ongoing Ras Male' project, Meekail stated his conviction that if a public referendum were held on the matter, President Muizzu would fail to secure even 15 percent of the vote. He further asserted that this is the primary reason the current administration is unwilling to seek a public mandate through a referendum.
Furthermore, Meekail highlighted that opposition to the Ras Male' project is not limited to members of the main opposition party, the MDP. Noting that a significant portion of the public also opposes the initiative, Meekail asserted that President Muizzu would face a resounding defeat if the matter were put to a direct public vote.
Criticizing President Muizzu’s governance style, Meekail further stated that the President has no desire to consult the public or seek their input on national matters. He added that the administration's policies are currently aligned against the sentiments of the people.
