JOIN USA day after ex-President Mohamed Nasheed walked out of the Indian High Commission, the Maldivian government on Sunday made it clear that there was no deal with India and that the case against him would continue as normal.
Nasheed walked out of the Indian mission on Saturday where he had been holed up since last Wednesday to evade an arrest warrant, ending eleven days of stalemate. “There is no deal with India with regard to Nasheed. The government cannot interfere with the judiciary and the case against him will continue as normal,” President Mohamed Waheed’s Press Secretary Masood Imad said.
“There is no arrest warrant against him (Nasheed) at the moment and hence he is a free man and can continue his social and public life,” Imad said.
“He went into the Indian commission and came out purely because of his own reasons. We have no role in it,” he said.
