Jabir has served in parliament as the representative for Huvadhoo atoll and the Kaashidhoo constituency in separate terms.
The former parliamentarian has been a staunch critic of President Yameen, especially after the state froze assets belonging to his Yacht Tours company, on claims on outstanding credit to the state.
