Maldives instability worries India |
Maldives President Abdulla Yameen has put nearly all his political opposition in jail. India is taking an increasingly dim view of a neighbour whose government appears intent on driving the country into instability. Former president Nasheed`s imprisonment and ill-treatment have led to increasing numbers of rallies and demonstrations in Male, which according to Maldives government were violent and not peaceful. Adhaalath Party leader Sheikh Imran Abdulla, Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) chairperson Ali Waheed and Jumhooree Party (JP)`s deputy leader Ameen Ibrahim were arrested on May 1 night for the protests. Adhaalath said the government had put two of the three opposition leaders behind bars. The third opposition leader, Qasim Ibrahim, is being targeted through his business.
