Police Action at PNF Inaugural Congress Violated Repeated Direct Instructions: President Muizzu
President Mohamed Muizzu said police action that obstructed the People's National Front's inaugural rally violated his repeated direct instructions not to deploy Special Operations police, and he demanded an investigation report by sundown on Wednesday. The Maldives Police Service submitted the report, saying it acted on Education Ministry instructions to protect the school hosting the rally, while PNF interim senator Mohamed Jameel Ahmed accused the president of lying to cover for his administration's blocking of the rally.
