Maldivian statesman seeks India’s help

INDIA: Maldivian senior statesman Ibrahim Ismail (Ibra), who was a minister in the ousted Mohammed Nasheed government, said India should come down hard on the present regime in his country and ask Mohammed Waheed Hassan to call for general election this year itself.

Talking to TOI in an exclusive interview here on Friday, Ibra said India's response to the coup in Maldives was cold and that the largest democracy in the world had shut its eyes on the human rights violations that were going on in his country.

“The protests against the military rule are on the rise. In the last 40 days, more than 650 people have been arrested compared to the 10-15 detained for hooliganism in the last three years of democratic rule,” he said.

Mohammed Aslam, who was also present at the interview, said India's continuing indifference to ‘Maldivian domestic affairs’ had upset human rights groups and top leaders of the ousted Maldivian Democratic Party government hoped India would use its good offices to ensure that President Waheed announced an election date this year.
