New Delhi : With the crisis in the Maldives continuing, Indian Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai Wednesday rushed to the island nation to hold discussions with key political leaders across the spectrum and press for a political solution.
A sense of uncertainty has gripped the Maldives since President Mohammad Nasheed resigned Feb 7.
Violence broke out in the Maldives last week before and after Nasheed’s resignation.
India’s Special Envoy M. Ganapathi, Secretary (West) in the external affairs ministry, was sent to the Maldives last week and held meetings with Nasheed and his successor, Mohamed Waheed Hassan, as also civic society leaders.
