Maldivian Speaker and former President of Maldives Mohamed Nasheed claimed that the Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has resigned.
“President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has resigned. I hope Sri Lanka can now move forward. I believe the President would not have resigned if he were still in Sri Lanka, and fearful of losing his life. I commend the thoughtful actions of the Government of Maldives. My best wishes to the people of Sri Lanka,” Nasheed wrote on his Twitter handle.
