Religious NGO Jamiyyathul Salaf has hit back at feminist movement Rehendhi and the ‘Enough is Enough’ group after they called on sponsors to withdraw support from the upcoming Salaf-hosted event, ‘The Call’.
At a press conference today, Salaf said it did not consider the voice of an unregistered, underground NGO “as an official complaint”.
Mohamed Sobah, Secretary General of Salaf who spoke on behalf of the NGO, said that “all NGOs and all Maldivians support the event”, which will feature talks and lectures from visiting Islamic scholar Dr Bilal Philips.
”There might be a few people who are concerned that a professional western scholar is to arrive to the Maldivies,” Sobah said.
