The government has decided to take action against online media 'Adhadhu' following their reports alleging that President Dr Mohamed Muizzu paid lawmakers belonging to PNC.

On Wednesday, Adhadhu Online reported that the President has increased the MVR 50,000 given to each PNC MP by MVR 25,000 this month and released MVR 75,000 to each PNC MP.

Chief Spokesperson Heena Waleed said in a post on X today that the news was false. She also urged the people to be vigilant against those who are spreading false information against the President and MPs.

”We are taking legal action against those spreading such false news for the purpose of creating sedition,” she said.

The government has previously denied the allegations that President Muizzu paid money to PNC MPs.
