India has “moral obligation to safeguard democracy” in the Maldives, Jameel tells PTI

India has a moral obligation to safeguard democracy in the Maldives, Home Minister Mohamed Jameel has told the Press Trust of India (PTI).

Jameel said it would be a blow to India if the nascent democracy in Maldives failed to live up to its promises, PTI reported.

“It will be a moral obligation on the part of India to see that democracy is sustained at Maldives, and if not it will be a blow to India as well as it the closest ally to our country,” Jameel told PTI, thanking
Indian Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai for brokering the roadmap negotiations.

Several political parties in the talks had accused India of interference in Maldivian internal affairs.
