Yameen urges religious scholars to use Ruqyah to bring Muizzu back to his senses

Former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom has delivered a stern message to religious scholars, accusing them of avoiding the root causes of national issues in favor of discussing economic matters.

President Yameen delivered this message while speaking at a special rally titled "Dhiveheenge Bin Dhiveheennah," held at Artificial Beach on Friday night.

He noted that scholars have been preoccupied with the Ras Male' project, consistently framing their discussions around the argument that it constitutes a strategic investment.

Yameen questioned whether religious scholars or economic experts should be the ones leading the discourse on investments. Furthermore, he asked why scholars do not view it as a concern for Maldivians to settle and integrate with Zionists in this context.

Yameen noted that scholars often focus on economic issues, questioning how beneficial it would be to construct 5,000 housing units. However, he pointed out that it was not just 5,000 units that remained unbuilt in Hulhumale', questioning exactly how many thousands of housing units had actually been allocated for the area.

I would like to address the scholars: if you are unwilling to fulfill your work, your responsibilities, and your professional obligations, then I implore you to do just one thing for us. Please, use Ruqyah to bring President Muizzu back to his senses.

Abdulla Yameen

Furthermore, Yameen stated that the ongoing efforts to allocate a large area of Ras Male' to a foreign entity are being undertaken in the best interests of the Maldivian people. He reiterated that these actions are in no way intended to achieve political gain.
