Former Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed is here to meet the top Indian leadership, nearly a month ahead of the presidential elections in his country.
“He is visiting India to meet the Indian leadership. He is likely to meet briefly with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh,” Mr Nasheed’s Maldivian Democratic Party spokesperson told PTI.
He said the party was in constant touch with India.
Asked what are the issues likely to be discussed during the visit, he said, “We are navigating a very tense election slated for September 7.” Mr Nasheed met external affairs minister Salman Khurshid on Thursday. He tweeted that he will be meeting finance minister P. Chidambaram. Mr Nasheed was ousted from power in February last year.
