Maldives and Muizu News: Maldives' former foreign minister and new opposition leader Abdulla Shahid said President Mohammed Muizzu's claims of “thousands of Indian military personnel” were false. There are no armed foreign troops deployed in our country. The newly elected President of Maldivian Democratic Party gave this information in a post on his social media account.

Former Foreign Minister tweeted

Abdullah Shahid tweeted, “In 100 days it is clear: President Muizzu’s claim about “thousands of Indian military personnel” is part of his lies. The present government has not been able to provide any concrete information on their claims. There are no armed foreign soldiers in our country. Not deployed. Transparency plays an important role in the governance of government and it is important that the truth comes out.

Muizzu insisted on removal of Indian troops

Let us tell you that the main campaign of Muizzu's party was to remove Indian soldiers from Maldives. Around 70 Indian troops are currently deployed in the Maldives along with Dornier 228 maritime patrol aircraft and two HAL Dhruv helicopters. The day after assuming office, Muizzu officially asked the Indian government to withdraw its military personnel from Maldives. In December last year, Muizzu had claimed that after talks with the Indian government, an agreement had been reached to withdraw the army soldiers.
