Jumhooree Party leader and Maamigili MP Gasim Ibrahim has condemned recent remarks made by MDP President and former Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid, who suggested that the government could be overthrown through public agitation.

Speaking at a press conference at the Parliament House, Gasim emphasized that advocating for the overthrow of a legally established government is unconstitutional. He highlighted the need for responsible political discourse, urging leaders to avoid statements that could destabilize the country.

He warned that political unrest would worsen the country's economic challenges, directly impacting the lives of its citizens. Gasim noted that the government is already facing difficulties in managing debts and securing foreign aid. He emphasized that instability would drive away foreign investors and result in severe economic consequences for the public.

Gasim expressed concern over the country's ability to meet financial obligations, including sukuk and loan repayments. He stressed that political turmoil would only deepen the crisis and called on political figures to prioritize national stability and work toward collective solutions.
