Two members of Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party’s (DRP) parliamentary group has called on the Party to take severe action against Seenu Feydhoo MP Alhan Fahmy for going against the Party’s decision and not taking part in the vote of no-confidence against Foreign Minister Dr Ahmed Shaheed.
Speaking at the DRP rally held at the Artificial Beach on Tuesday night, Thoddoo MP Ali Waheed and Villi-Maafannu MP Ahmed Nihan Hussain both criticized Alhan and called on the Party to take action against him. Although they did not directly refer to Alhan by name, their choice of the words left no doubt about whom they were speaking about.
Ali Waheed, who had presented the no-confidence motion against Dr Shaheed, said that if the “party member who voted against the Party’s policies” was given even one more chance to speak at the Party’s podium, then it would be the last time that he, Ali Waheed himself, would speak there. He further said that he wished to work with trustworthy people who won’t turn out to be hypocrites.
He went on to say that an emergency Party council meeting was required to discuss the matter of the DRP member who didn’t take part in the vote and that strict measures should be taken against the member who had tried to destroy the Party’s policies.
Addressing the supporters gathered at the Artificial Beach, Ali Waheed said that what really saddened him wasn’t the fact that DRP had not won the vote of no-confidence against Dr Shaheed, but that it was a DRP member that had backstabbed them. He said it was due to such treacherous people that the 30-year rule of Maumoon Abdul Gayoom had come to an end.
