RaajjeMV understands that he was forced to resign as MPL CEO due to the influence of some members of ruling Progressive Party of Maldives’ parliamentary group.
During his time in Customs, Junaid had raised serious allegations against pro-government MP Riyaz Rasheed’s company Meridian for corruption over an oil deal.
