Fisheries Minister Ahmed Shiyam has strongly criticized recent comments made by Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) Chairman Fayyaz Ismail, calling them inappropriate and dangerous.
Shiyam expressed concern over Fayyaz’s remarks suggesting that the President should be treated the same as former President Mohamed Amin, the Maldives' first President, who was overthrown and died under controversial circumstances.
Speaking on the matter, Minister Shiyam stated that such rhetoric, particularly from the chairman of a political party, was unacceptable and went beyond the bounds of political discourse. He described the remarks as inflammatory and akin to inciting a serious and potentially dangerous attack.
Shiyam emphasized that statements of this nature have no place in Maldivian society, calling them a threat to national unity and a violation of the principles upheld by political parties. He urged authorities to investigate the remarks thoroughly, as they could be construed as encouraging acts of terrorism.
The controversy has sparked widespread debate, with many calling for accountability and caution in political rhetoric to prevent escalations that could harm societal stability.
