The people are confused. Nobody knows what is going on, except that there are these benchmarks we can see for ourselves. Now we are in limbo. Some people think voting should go on at 11 a.m., as scheduled.
We believe that the only prudent way forward and the solution is for Waheed to resign and the speaker of parliament to take over the government until elections are over.
I can assure all Indians that Maldives will always be India's friend and we believe that we cannot find a better friend than India. India has always assisted us in times of stress and even in the future India will assist us in times of stress.
