Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) MP Dr Afrasheem Ali has proposed amendments to the religious unity act.
Presenting the bill, Dr Afrasheem said that social unity among Maldivians was weaker than it had been in the past.
”One reason for this [disruption] is issues of religion, particularly disputes over worship and (scholars) criticising each other,” Dr Afrasheem.
He proposed that the Shafi sect be enshrined as the basis of Islam in the Maldives.
