Both MPs are summoned for the ongoing investigation where a number of Parliamentarians had broken Police ranks near Parliament grounds.
Kimbidhoo Constituency MP Abdullah Riyaz had already attended his summons issued on the same charges. He had submitted himself to the Police at 8pm on Wednesday. The MP was ordered to attend the summons with his lawyer at 1pm today.
Speaking to RaajjeTV, Abdullah Riyaz said that President Yameen now doesn’t command any respect or support from the public. He said this was precisely the reason why the Parliament was under lockdown.
While obstruction charges for breaking Police ranks had been filed on current opposition MPs, no agency or institution in this nation had reviewed the case where back in 2012, the current Vilimale’ MP Ahmed Nihan Hussain Manik had broken Police ranks.
