Minister of Legal Reform Information and Arts Mohamed Nasheed has said that if the MP Fathin Hameed, President’s Member had made vulgar gestures at member of the press she should apologize.It has been reported that as she came out of the Majlis House after conclusion of the session on the 17 of this month, she made obscene gestures at the photographer of the Minivan Newspaper when he attempted to take a picture of her. The picture of her showing the middle finger at the photographer has been carried by many newspapers and websites.
Answering questions from the press, at a press conference held at the Information Ministry yesterday, Nasheed said if she did make obscene gestures, then it is not good.
Nasheed said as there is no law or regulations for such things among us; it is difficult to say what action the government may take against her.
However Nasheed said in his capacity as the Information Minister, his opinion is if such a thing did happen she should apologize.
MP Fathin’s vulgar gestures have been criticized by the Media Association. Many believe her actions shows her disregard for the people of Maldives and their dignity as her gestures were made right in front of the Majlis house whilst being a member of the Majlis.
