Abdulla Shahid said Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu lied by saying there were “thousands of Indian military personnel” in the island-nation.
Former Maldivian minister of foreign affairs Abdulla Shahid said the claims made by Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu that “thousands of Indian military personnel” were deployed in Maldives was another lie concocted by him. He said there are no armed foreign soldiers in Maldives.

Shahid is also the newly elected president of the Maldivian Democratic Party.
