MDP Strongly Condemns Vandalism of Indian High Commissioner’s Car

The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) strongly condemns vandalism of the Indian High Commissioner H.E. Rajeev Shahare’s car, parked outside the Indian High Commission on Monday evening.

Furthermore, the MDP calls on the authorities to launch an immediate investigation and ensure the security of the Indian diplomats residing in the Maldives.

Hamid Abdul Ghafoor, MDP Spokesperson for International Affairs said:

“After months of hate mongering targeting Indian officials, it is deeply saddening to see such regrettable incidents against our Indian friends. Maldives and India share an invaluable friendship and we must continue to strengthen our relationship through dialogue, not through intimidation and violence”
