In an interview to local news outlet, Mihaaru, MP Riyaz said that Sri Lanka was actively involved and encouraging a coup to overthrow the elected Government in Maldives. MP Riyaz had also accused the Sri Lankan government of keenly assisting opposition in their attempts to overthrow the Government.
