MDP President Abdullah Shahid has accused the current government of undermining nationalism. In a press conference today, Shahid responded to the government's claim that the MDP was attempting a coup against the Bank of Maldives (BML).
Shahid argued that BML, as a national institution, is facing credibility issues due to scam allegations and other controversies. He criticized the President and Cabinet ministers for accusing the MDP of plotting a coup and calling for the resignation of the bank's CEO, asserting that such actions pose a threat to national unity.
He further warned that challenging the integrity of national institutions in this manner is dangerous. Shahid also referenced conflicting statements from pro-government MPs and ministers, who have defended BML’s decisions amidst the ongoing dollar issue.
These comments come in the wake of recent allegations by the President that BML is involved in a coup attempt, intensifying the political discourse surrounding the bank's role and the government’s response.
