According to government’s critics, including Parliament Speaker, Mohammed Anni Nasheed, a former President and Solih’s ruling Maldivian Democratic Party chief, Chagos was never a part of Mauritius but was always a Maldivian territory — and surrendering it now could adversely impact on the nation’s territorial claims. Pressure from ‘Big Brother’ Among the critics, Gasim Ibrahim, leader of the Jumhooree Party partner in the ruling coalition, claimed that ‘Big Brother’ India had pressured the government to yield on the sovereignty question. The former President has been going slow on, if not outrightly withdrawing, his months-long ‘India Out/India Military Out’ campaign after a presidential decree outlawed campaigns of the kind against ‘friendly nations’.
