Ruling Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) activists demanded Finance Minister Ahmed Inaz’s resignation last night after he was found holding a covert meeting with Mulaku MP Abdulla Yamin of opposition Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM).
The Minister, who has not resigned from his post, and MP Yamin had not responded to inquiries at time of press.
Minivan staff who witnessed the event said one activist lay down in front of Yamin’s car while another “dragged” Inaz from the vehicle and took him to MDP headquarters at Haruge.
Activists interviewed today claimed that Inaz was not forcefully taken from the vehicle.
