Quotes
- “India is a huge country but it always listens to us, the smaller countries... I trust democracy far more than any other form of governance.”
- “Well, if I did cooperate with Waheed, this country will go down the drain immediately. The people of this country elected a leader, and that was me. I have been removed forcefully and they want me back. But, I’m saying “Okay, let’s have new elections and see who the people want again”. If I step aside, if I join the Rebel Government, the people of this country will lose faith.”
- “One time they said it was terrorism, another time they said it was acting against the constitution, another time they said it was alcohol.”
- “My message to you is continue the protests, continue despite the odds, and eventually, together, we will reach that crucial number, 350.”
- “We believe that the only prudent way forward and the solution is for Waheed to resign and the speaker of parliament to take over the government until elections are over.”
- “I graciously accept defeat. We lost by a very small margin. Democracy is a process. It is up to us to make it work. The MDP has always asked for a government elected by the people. Today is a happy day for the Maldives - we now have an elected government.”
