Leaving Traitors free, country will lose Independence:

Majlis call to hang Nasheed Envoy Zaki


MPs of the People’s Majlis have called to hang Ibrahim Hussain Zaki, former SAARC Secretary General and Special Envoy of former President Mohamed Nasheed in a sudden motion proposed to the meeting held yesterday by PPM’s Thimarafushee MP Ahmed Shareef. 

Speaking on the motion some MPs expressed outrage over the remarks Zaki made to media during his recent visit to New Delhi that if MDP were in the government they would have Indian military to protect GMR.

MP for Fares Maathoda Ibrahim Muththalib demanded Zaki should be arrested immediately on his return and hanged to death after investigation. MPs who are supporting the Government also said that those traitors who betray their nation are sentenced to death in other countries expressing their support to hang Zaki. MPs also condemned Zaki accusing him as one of the biggest traitors of the country. They also demanded the national honour conferred on Zaki also must be revoked..

During Zaki’s visit to India last week, he met senior Indian officials of the Indian Government including External Affairs MinisterSalman Khurashid, National Security Adviser Shiv Shanker Menon  and Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai.

In India he advocated the need for seeking military help from India to defuse the current situation in the Maldives. When he was asked whether Maldives should seek military help from India, he said if we were in the Government, we definitely would have done it by now. If Islamic fundamentalists take over the country, my best friend India has to be on the ground.

Zaki accused Adaalath party, a key stake holder in President Waheed’s government is leading the  protest demanding to  terminate the lease of the Ibrahim Nasir International Airport which  Nasheed government has signed with GMR. Adaalath party is the most extremist fundamentalist party in the Maldives, and they pose a big threat to our country, he told media in New Delhi.

Defence Ministry and political parties have condemned Zaki’s remarks warning that action will be taken against him.
