Opposition Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) has said that the fact that Israel is the most oppressive state that is committing countless of atrocities against the Muslims of Palestine is reason enough to halt and cancel all flights of the Israeli national carrier Al El to Maldives.

In a press conference held yesterday PPM Council member and Ungufaaru MP, Dr. Afrasheem Ali said that it is not permissible to establish any relations with Israel.

Dr. Afrasheem said that the killing of Muslims without any due right is a norm in Israel. He said that the Jewish occupiers occupied the Muslim land and drove the Muslims out of their homes violating all known laws of human rights.

“Muslims are brothers regardless of our colour, our race, our nationality. The Jewish occupiers are oppressing and slaughtering our brothers and sisters every single day. So how is it possible to establish ties with these terrorists? Never. It is not permissible,” he said.

In view of the remark of the President that he supports moderation, Dr. Afrasheem said that the President needs to learn the policy of moderation in Islam from the many scholars in Maldives.

“In a nutshell, moderation in Islam is to strive hard against the oppression in the first degree in a time Muslims are being oppressed worldwide,” he said.
