Government disassociates itself from the remarks made at last night's gathering held on the involvement of GMR in the INIA

The Government of Maldives disassociates itself from the remarks made by the Spokesperson of the President's Office Mr Abbas Adil Riza, and some other government officials, at a gathering held last evening against the involvement of GMR in the Ibrahim Nasir International Airport.

The gathering was organised by some political parties including some members of the public. The views expressed at the gathering by Mr Abbas Adil Riza, though his own views, are regrettable, and do not reflect the views of the Government of Maldives, particularly those made against the Indian High Commissioner to the Maldives Mr D. M. Mulay.
