Government dismisses ‘slanderous’ allegation of plot to assassinate Nasheed
23 Apr 2015, 7:55 PM
The government has dismissed allegations of a plot by senior officials to assassinate imprisoned ex-president Mohamed Nasheed as “slanderous.”
The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) said today that credible sources have informed the main opposition party and Nasheed’s family that a senior government official has recently obtained powerful anaesthetics drugs to use against the opposition leader.
“If bringing in medicine for treatment to a prison where president Nasheed is being kept is considered as intended to harm an inmate, that is a big joke,” president’s office spokesperson Ibrahim Muaz Ali told Minivan News today.
The allegation is baseless and “slanderous,” he added. Muaz suggested the MDP should file cases with the relevant authorities.
