Maldives President Solih bans ‘India Out’ campaign

The Hindu  

Maldivian President Ibrahim Mohamed SolihonThursdayissued a decree banning the ‘India Out’ campaign, now led by former President Abdulla Yameen, terming it a “threat to national security.” Stating that the government’s policy was to provide freedom of expression and freedom of assembly guaranteed under the Constitution “to its fullest extent”, and to “uphold democratic values”, the Presidential order said the campaign against India “exploited” the freedoms and “intends to disrupt” the long-standing bilateral relations between the Maldives and India as well as efforts to maintain peace and security in the region. The move follows a recent decision by the Maldives’s National Security Council that the campaign “to incite hatred against India” is a “threat” to national security. The Progressive Congress Coalition, representing Mr. Yameen’s political camp, said it “strongly condemns the unconstitutional executive order” by President Solih, “suspending” people’s right to freedom of expression opposing “the illegal stationing of Indian Military forces” in the Maldives. Criticising the ‘India Out’ campaign in Parliament earlier, Speaker and former President Mohamed Nasheed said the ‘India Out’ banners put up at Mr. Yameen’s residence needed to be removed.
