A complex picture emerges from Maldives Daily News (via HT Media Ltd.)
From Germany, where he has to undergo a further surgery to set right the damage to his eardrum and treatment for numbness on his left side, Speaker Mohammed ‘Anni’ Nasheed has cautioned against the emergence of suicide attacks in native Maldives. In a social media interaction with supporters back home to mark the 16th anniversary of the ruling Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), of which he is the President, Nasheed said ‘many people should be arrested suddenly’ to secure the situation. “I want to make it clear to the President (Ibrahim Solih, also from the MDP), to do this fast without dragging your feet. You need to rise up to save Maldives,” he said.

Maldives: Hate Crime Bill sparks controversy Daily News (via HT Media Ltd.)
At a time when the nation should be united in the face of terrorism that had targeted Speaker Mohamed ‘Anni’ Nasheed, the ruling Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) and coalition government are divided as never before. MDP chairman Hassan Latheef has since admitted to such a division, which has already damaged the party’s public image and standing. With coalition partners now seeking to scuttle the government’s religion-centric ‘hate crimes’ bill, identified with the Nasheed camp and flowing directly from the May 6 bomb attack on him, it has greater potential to wreck the MDP’s future poll prospects than ever already.
