Jamiyyath Salaf has refuted media reports that they had taken a second meeting with Jumhooree Party (JP).

In a bid to secure support for JP at the upcoming Presidential Election, JP Leader Qasim Ibrahim met with senior officials of the organization at their office on March 20th. Some media reports claimed that a second meeting took place at Sun Island Resort as well.

A statement issued by Salaf noted that they had not had any other meetings with JP and Qasim other than the meeting on the 20th. They further added that the media reports of such a meeting were brought about rather irresponsibly.

Salaf had appealed to all media and journalists to be more responsible when reporting on a news tip.
