Dr Munawwar’s resignation as President of MDP is not surprising. Thanks to Anni’s autocratic style, MDP’s marginalization has come much earlier than many people had anticipated.
Munawwar's resignation paves the way for him to pledge allegiance to Qasim. This is not surprising either. What drives him are money and vengeance. Munawwar’s cupidity for money became apparent when he, while holding the office of Attorney General, formed a company with some others, supposedly to build a tourist resort in Addu. For Munawwar, Qasim is a like-minded person. Qasim is also well-known for his ability to beguile people into his anti-Qayyoom rhetoric since as early as the 1990s. Now that he has his own party and is out to avenge Qayyoom for the ‘VIP treatment’ at Dhoonidhoo following the August 12-13 failed coup attempt, what better person for Munawwar to go into an alliance with?
I keep on asking myself: why should people believe in the Jumhooree Party? I could not think of anything. To being with, I do not know what they stand for, other than of course the obvious motive of vengeance against Qayyoom. They did not have to declare this. It is too apparent.
Why is it a 'Jumhooree' Party anyway? The name of a party has certain connotations. MDP says their name symbolizes democracy. DRP says theirs shows they are the party of the people. Adhaalath’s name is to indicate that they are for justice. But what is Jumhooree Party? Are we fighting for independence against the British colonialism, so that we can become a republic after independence? I won’t be surprised then if I hear about another party, a Unionist Party!
For me, therefore, there is only one and only one reason for the existence of the Jumhooree Party, and that is, to wield money to promote the businesses of their key individual members. They cannot afford to see any more new business persons emerge under the free enterprise policies in the country to challenge their status.
