Minister of Legal Reform Information and Arts Mohamed Nasheed has rejected the rumors floating around town that he has submitted his resignation.
Nasheed speaking to Maidhu via telephone said that they are all rumors and as such completely false. Stories about Minister Nasheed’s resignation from the cabinet started last Monday and by noon that day it was the most talked about topic in Male’ tea shops.
Some claim that alleged resignation of Minister Nasheed was due to his unsuccessful attempts to table a no confidence motion against Speaker of the Special Majlis Qasim Ibrahim. They claim that Minister Nasheed wanted no confidence motion taken because MP for Addu Atoll as well as DRP Parliamentary group Member Ibrahim Shareef was ordered out of the Majlis by the Speaker.
When asked if such incident happened Minister Nasheed replied that it was all rumors and that he himself was surprised.
“No such thing happened, many people are also calling me, I have no intention of tabling a no confidence motion against Qasim, it does not work like that, in any case we have to accept Qasim’s decisions” said Nasheed.
