Motion on Investigating Solih-Era Agreements With India Stalled in Parliament

A parliamentary motion to investigate three agreements signed with India during the Solih administration has stalled at the Security Services Committee (241 Committee) stage for nearly three months, with PNC MPs reportedly saying President Muizzu ordered the halt to protect ties with India.
