Condemning a spate of fake text messages in Home Minister Umar Naseer’s name, the home ministry said today: “Naseer’s shoulder will be the first offered in defence of President Abdulla Yameen’s administration.”
Thazmeel Abdul Samad, the home ministry’s media coordinator, described the text messages as an “uncivilized act” to defame Naseer by parties envious of the trust placed in him by President Yameen.
The messages come amidst an investigation into an explosion on board the presidential speedboat on September 28. The government has said the blast was an assassination attempt.
Naseer is heading a six-member high ranking military and police inquiry into the explosion.
