Dhiraagu is being boycotted after an opposition activist claimed his SIM was cloned.
Thayyib Shaheem, formerly the news editor of the state broadcaster during Mohamed Nasheed’s presidency, has more than 32,000 Twitter followers and is known for levelling serious allegations against President Abdulla Yameen and his government.
He said Wednesday that his phone number had been disconnected and reassigned to a third party who had changed the passwords of his social media accounts using the number.
“I have not submitted any documentation or forms to disconnect or reassign my prepaid mobile number,” read a letter addressed to Dhiraagu’s CEO that was posted on Twitter.
