Following the Washington Post article on the attempted overthrowing by India's RAW of President Dr Mohamed Muizzu's administration, former President Mohamed Nasheed has stated that India has always respected democracy in Maldives and would not attempt to overthrow an elected government.
In a post on social media platform X, Nasheed said that he was not aware of any plans to overthrow President Muizzu's administration, and accused some of always engaging in conspiracy theories.
