Opposition to pursue no-confidence motion against Home Minister Imran

The opposition coalition, consisting of the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) and the People's National Congress (PNC), revealed that efforts were underway to lodge a motion of no-confidence against incumbent Minister of Home Affairs Imran Abdulla over problematic public rhetoric concerning three high profile cases.

Minister Imran is the president of the religiously conservative Adhaalath Party, which is one of the three major political parties included in the ruling coalition.
