Former Home Minister and a leading figure in the National Movement, Sheikh Imran Abdulla, has warned that if the project to permanently grant a large area of Ras Male' to Eagle Hills proceeds, there will be no space left for political activity in the country. He stated that the nation would be reduced to a state of powerlessness, similar to the administration of Mahmoud Abbas in Palestine.
Speaking at a special rally titled "Dhiveheenge Bin Dhiveheennah" held at Artificial Beach on Friday night, Imran warned that if current government agendas are allowed to proceed, no political party or leader will remain in the country. He further cautioned that the Maldives risks losing its status as a sovereign nation, potentially being forced to kneel before foreign powers.
If you carry out the atrocity you are planning, there will be no country left for you to conduct political work in. There will be no political parties and no political leaders remaining in this nation. By then, this country will mirror the situation in Palestine; they will turn Muizzu into a figure like Mahmoud Abbas, forcing him to his knees before a foreign power to do their bidding. At that point, this nation will cease to exist.Sheikh Imran Abdulla
Furthermore, Imran called upon all political leaders and parties to set aside their differences and suspend political campaigns for the time being to safeguard the nation from this threat. He emphasized that now is the time for everyone to unite in defense of the country's independence.
Imran stated that regardless of whether the MDP or PNF wins the upcoming election, it is imperative to investigate the extent of President Muizzu's actions regarding this matter and take the necessary measures. He further noted that if all political leaders and patriotic citizens unite, the government will not be afforded the opportunity to proceed with this course of action.
Imran stated that while President Muizzu may view this nation as something that can be valued in dollars, for the Maldivian people, it is a priceless heritage spanning a 3,500-year history and 30 generations rooted in Islam. Furthermore, Sheikh Imran remarked that it would be a mistake for President Muizzu to believe he could challenge the nation's Islamic identity or its independence during the remaining two years of his term.
