The British government is training terrorists to attack the Maldives, MP Riyaz Rasheed of the ruling Progressive Party of Maldives said during Monday’s sitting of parliament.
The PPM parliamentary group’s deputy leader said the government is unfazed by the new coalition launched in London last month by opposition leaders in exile.
“There’s no space for terrorists in this country. I said it before. I called upon Britain, too: Don’t create terrorists in Britain to attack this country,” he said.
“There’s no room now to believe that what Britain is doing now isn’t keeping a few Maldivians there and training them for a terrorist attack here.”
