Jamiyyath Salaf has sent a letter to the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, seeking action against former President and Speaker of Parliament, Mohamed Nasheed for defending the controversial report by Maldivian Democracy Network (MDN) which mocked Islam and the Prophet.

The letter signed by President of Salaf which was sent about a week back to Islamic Minister Ahmed Zahir notes that he normalised behaviour such as mocking the religion and Prophet, and hence seeks action against Nasheed.

It added that differentiating between people in the face of law is in itself injustice, hence the letter seeked to convict him of the punishment for disrupting religious unity in the country.
