Former president Mohamed Nasheed is under fire after an audio of a conversation about Addu City seceding from the Maldives to form a new state was leaked to the media.
The home ministry in a statement Tuesday called the secession talk an “uncivilised”, “unlawful” and “treasonous plot” that could create strife and disunity among the public.
“This act is a dangerous attack that came as a part of the constant attacks on the holy religion of Islam and Maldivian freedom, independence and sovereignty,” it contended.
The government will not tolerate any threat to the unity of the Maldivian state, it added.
