Willing to talk to GMR if we come to power: Maumoon Abdul Gayoom

New Delhi:  Nearly seven months after GMR's over $ 500 million Male airport project was terminated, former President and key political player Maumoon Abdul Gayoom says his party is open to do business with the Indian infrastructure major if it comes back to power.
Blaming former President Mohamed Nasheed for inking a faulty contract with GMR resulting in its termination, Gayoom, who was here last week, said he has assured top Indian leadership including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that all bilateral, regional and international commitments will be respected by his government.
"The fault lies with the former President Nasheed because he entered into this agreement against the law...our constitution and law says he should seek and get parliamentary approval because he enters into such an agreement. He kept the parliament and public in dark," Gayoom told PTI.
