Regulations do not give way for parliament deadlock: Aslam

The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) parliamentary group leader and north-Hithadhoo MP Mohamed Aslam stated that the parliament regulations provide a framework to avoid deadlock situations and allow for the smooth continuation of parliamentary proceedings.

Aslam's comments were made in response to Vice Speaker Eva Abdulla's allegations that the no-confidence motions filed by the ruling MDP against her and Speaker Mohamed Nasheed were attempts to throw the parliament into a deadlock.
