MLD President Mr. Saadiq calls on Gayoom to resign immediately
Maldivian League
For Democracy - Press Release 9th June 2004
MLD leadership has called its members
in and out of Maldives to reject Gayoom’s sudden initiative for reform. It
reminded its members that after 26 years of brutality and torturing
thousands of its people, it is just too little too late for reform. These
ideas were created just a week ago when every Maldivian had access to the
their Development Program. These so called new ideas of Gayoom are only to
create more instability in the country, thus revoking all his ideas for
reform at a day of his convenience.
The President of Maldives League for Democracy Mr. Saadiq called his members
to reject this “loose talk” from Gayoom, as he has never been sincere or
honest to the people of Maldives. He also stressed this might be another
trick by Gayoom to stay in power indefinitely as an unelected president.
With this new position of a Prime Minister, he could choose another family
member to protect him and continue the drain of our limited resources.
He called upon President Gayoom to resign immediately and not to wait for
another 2 terms or 10 years as President, if he really meant what he said
yesterday. He called the President to release all political prisoners and to
stop the abuse of young people. He reminded Gayoom, that it is far too
important to stop the abuse of drugs in the Maldives. He also called Gayoom
to release all the details of government expenses and to ensure they are
available for public scrutiny.
Mr. Saadiq also reminded his members and the people of Maldives, that the
President’s family is not ready for these reforms and would reject any
attempt to include more educated and able people to run the government. Mr.
Saadiq called the people to continue their struggle to get rid of this
regime once for all. He reminded the people that they would never see any
prosperity, so long as Gayoom is in power.
