Members injured during parliament scuffle taken to hospital

Kanditheemu MP Abdulla Shaheem who had sustained injuries during a major uproar in the parliament today has been taken to the hospital.

The decision of the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) and The Democrats' parliamentary group not to approve some members of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu's cabinet, has lead to the ruling party Progressive Party of Maldives and People’s National Congress (PPM/PNC) coalition affiliated parliamentarians to disrupt parliament proceedings and enter the chambers of the Speaker.
