MP Mauroof Zakir Alleges Plot to Extend President’s Term Amid Economic Crisis

Opposition MP Mauroof Zakir accused the Muizzu government of pushing the country into crisis to extend the president's term, saying constitutional amendments are being rushed while healthcare, food security and public services suffer. The debate concerned a government-sponsored referendum bill that would allow national referendums by presidential decree or parliamentary approval, to be held within 45 to 90 days.
