Present Government is dictatorial and oppressive- Riyaz

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Opposition Dhivehi Qaumy Party [DQP] Deputy Leader, Vilufushi MP Riyaz Rasheed has said that the present Government is dictatorial and oppressive.

Speaking to Miadhu, Riyaz alleged that the government pursues a political vendetta and suppresses the discontent of the citizenry.

“Government can’t just destroy a person for his decisions in the People’s Majlis. I voted in favour of the amendments to Public Finance Act for public benefit,” he said.

“The Government ruining my company Meridian Services just because I voted for the amendment made to Public Finance Act is unacceptable.”

Riyaz also alleged that governments’ determination to ruin his company without considering how it will affect the 105 employees and their families shows that it is a dictatorship.

Furthermore, he said that the government is persecuting and victimizing anyone acts against their methodology.

“I have never opposed the government in the Majlis, but all this time I have been supporting the government. Even in the vote against the foreign Minister Dr. Shaheed, I voted in favour of the government,” Riyaz added.

Riyaz said that this was the first time that he is saying that the government is a tyrannical dictatorship.
