Male: After a scathing anti-India remark by a government spokesperson over an airport project by an Indian company, Maldives has officially dissociated itself from the comment and apologized.
Maldives president Mohamed Waheed as well as pro-government Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) have condemned the remarks made against the Indian High Commissioner D M Mulay by government Spokesperson Abbas Adil Riza.
At a rally organized by the Civil Coalition against Ibrahim Nasir International Airport (INIA) operator GMR (an Indian company) on Friday night, Abbas had said that Mulay had taken bribe from the Indian company and said that "the Indian High Commissioner would have to leave the country the same day GMR is ousted."
Abbas also purportedly called Mulay anti-Maldives and that he is not wanted on their soil.
