Minority opposition Dhivehi Qaumee Party (DQP) has requested Maldives Police Service to take immediate action against President Mohamed Nasheed and Minister of Tourism Mariyam Zulfa for ordering all resorts to close down health spas.
In a letter, DQP alleged that the government officials were conspiring to damage the Maldives’ image as a popular holiday destination.
The party’s statement added that the government’s “irresponsible” action is making headlines in the international media.
Police confirmed that they had received the letter, and would deliberate the matter.
