Speaker cancels parliament six minutes into session, meets with leaders

Parliament’s Speaker Abdulla Shahid canceled Wednesday’s Majlis session after six minutes, according to a report in Haveeru.
Shahid cancelled the sitting because he said it would be unable to produce any positive results, given the current political deadlock between the parties.
Instead, Shahid said he wished to speak privately with party leaders. He said discussions were also held with Independent MPs.
The next sitting would be held Monday, he said.
