They are to be summoned at 10am on Tuesday.
Aslam on Twitter said that he is ready to go to court and even jail but that it will not stop former President Nasheed's campaign.
Overall, 12 MPs are accused of breaking police ranks to get inside the parlaiment. The MPs have said that the police service do not have authority to stop them from entering the parliament building. After their entrance, police and military officers forcefully booted them off the building. Police have since taken statements from all the MPs.
