Dear Editor,
Tuesday’s vote of no confidence vote against our Foreign Minister Dr Ahmed Shaheed is really a vote of no confidence against the Majlis.
Speaker Abdullah Shahid has turned the Majlis into a circus by tabling this motion and has lost whatever credibility he had left. Not only has Abdullah Shahid failed to follow required protocol in such matters, he has forgotten the oath he took to uphold the honour and integrity of the Majlis.
As for Majlis members we will see on Tuesday just who remembers the promises they made to us during their campaigns and the oath they took as Majlis members to uphold our constitution and the will of the people. And who sold out.
The vote of no confidence against Dr Shaheed brings shame on our nation. If ever we needed proof of just how badly we have fallen in our morals and ethics and just how corrupt our politicians are, this is it.
Perhaps it is not a bad thing after all. In many ways it is a relief for we will know once and for all on Tuesday who our heroes are and who are the enemies of our nation.
For only those who put their own agendas above that of the people can vote against a cabinet minister who stood for and worked so hard for the democatic new Maldives we have today.
Shame on you Abdulla Shahid. Shame on you DRP-PA.
Regards,
