PNC MPs Call for Arrest of Opposition Leader Over Press Conference Remarks

Ruling PNC lawmakers called for the arrest of MDP Chairperson and opposition leader Fayyaz Ismail over remarks at a Monday press conference, during a Tuesday parliament sitting debating an emergency motion by PNC MP Hassan Mufeed Abdul Qadir urging police to investigate Ismail and an MDP activist's comments at a Kulhudhuffushi rally. The controversy arose from the activist's remark comparing President Muizzu's potential fate to that of Mohamed Amin Didi, which PNC members called a threat; the calls came as the MDP prepared to hold its largest rally against the government on Tuesday night.
