“We Deliver Facts, Not Fiction” – Spokesperson Heena Slams False Reports and Defends Government Actions
In an exclusive written interview with The Standard, Chief Spokesperson of the President's Office Heena Waleed rejected reports she called false and defended the government's record on political appointments, Gedhoruveriyaa housing handovers, medicine supply, cigarette tax use and the Maldives 2.0 digital initiative.
