An imam has been suspended by the Islamic ministry after he recited the Quran at an opposition event, local media reported Monday.
Raajje TV released the letter sent to Ibrahim Yoosuf of Ihavandhoo, Haa Alifu atoll, in which the ministry alleged he had refused to go for questioning about his participation in a political event.
The letter, signed by the ministry’s permanent secretary Musab Abdullah, said the imam had violated civil service conduct rules.
Yoosuf has been suspended without pay for a 30-day period.
