Chief spokes person of Dhivehi Rayithunge Party (DRP) Mr. Ibrahim Shafiu has said that those council members of DRP who are now founders of People’s Association (PA) are not invited to the council meetings as they have specifically requested not to be invited.
Mr. Shafiu said even though Mr. Abdulla Yamin , President’s half brother and his colleagues and associates at present are not engaged in DRP political activities , they are still council members of the party with the best interest of DRP at heart.
Speaking to Miadhu Daily Chief Spokesperson Mr. Shafiu said even though Mr. Yamin and his associates such as Mr. Abdulla Jabir former Chairman of Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company (MIFCO), Mr. Ahmed Nazim, former State Minister at Ministry of Higher Education, Employment and Social Security, Mr. Zahir Adam MP for Ga Atoll and Jaufar Adam leading businessmen are currently engaged in establishing and promoting PA, they are still loyal DRP council members. Mr. Shafiu further said he does not believe they will distance themselves from the DRP.
“They have never taken any step or done anything that may have any negative impacts on the party, they are still loyal members, they have the best interests of the party at heart” said Chief Spokesperson of DRP.
When asked by Miadhu Daily why these PA / DRP council members are not being invited to council sessions of the party Mr. Shafiu said that the decision not to invite them was taken as they have specially requested the party not to do so and that they were invited on previous occasions just like any other council member.
“We are doing so at their own request, they have said they will only attend council meetings only after solving their differences with the Leader, so we are just waiting patiently” said Mr. Shafiu.
Chief Spokesperson further said as the key PA members were instrumental in the formation of DRP, they still love and respect the party deeply.
“They were instrumental players in the formation of DRP and as such I do not believe we can just throw them out of the party” said Chief Spokesperson of DRP Mr. Ibrahim Shafiu.
