But DRP  always want every work to be done through the right path and by using the legal forms .

Speaking to VTV, Mr. Hussein Mohamed said  DRP will support the government  in its work of  taking back  Ibrahim Nasir International Airport INIA and also DRP will support on the best solution for the problem. He said  all the decision taken by party’s council is done by considering legal forms and DRP always look in to the ways  that will  benefit  the people of the country.

Speaking with Mr. Hussein Mohamed, the deputy leader of DRP Ibrahim Shareef said they still haven’t seen the GMR agreement and because of this  nothing can be said about the profit of the business done by GMR.  Mr. Shareef also spoke  against the criticism of PPM to DRP on the  airport issue.  Shareef said people who ruled  for 30 years in Maldives will know better about profit gained by  the airport. He said INIA is the main gate of Maldives and questions rises about the profit gained from the airport by looking into the situation of runway, radars, vehicles and equipments. And also  question rises about the profit gained  from the airport because of the name tag  given to INIA as bucket airport.

Leader of DRP Mr. Ahmed Thasmeen Ali  has said that investors will loose their  trust  if about 3000 people go and stop the work of airport. And he said  DRP will not support a cause like this.
