the nod to set up a new company called
Maldives International Airport Limited that will takeover from MACL. However, he added the structure of MIAL is yet to be finalised.
Refuting the allegations that the move to terminate the contract was a political one to whip up emotions before the elections next year, Imad said, "Protests against the contract have been taking place since the first day it was signed by Nasheed. There were regular protests and marches happening".
He added, "We had a set of issues that needed to be looked into after we came to power. We are tackling them one by one and airport issue was one of them. We consulted reputed international law firms and they agreed with us that the contract was not valid. It is only then we terminated".
"The President has not even said if he might or might not run for Presidency. It is completely wrong to say that it was done for political mileage. We are only setting the wrong done by Nasheed right," he added.
