The Feydhoo constituency lawmaker Mohamed Nihad has directed a fierce verbal jab at Male' City's Mayor Shifa Mohamed.

The lawmaker, in his statement urged from the mayor of Maldives capital to consider local immigrants living in Male' City from other islands are in fact human, and belongs to the same country.

MP Nihad's criticism is directed towards Mayor Shifa Mohamed's recent tweet, whereby she claimed the topic changes whenever the issue of leasing land to residents of Male' City surface.

The Male' City Mayor in her tweet, had requested from the public not to misconstrue or divert the topic at hand towards conflicts.

Feydhoo constituency lawmaker had rebutted the Mayor's statement, noting that issue comes from drawing parallels between local immigrants and Israelis. The MP further noted the issue can be discussed at great lengths and compratively in a more appealing manner.

The lawmaker's comments are obvious shades thrown at the Mayor as well as MP Hussain Shaheem.

Recently, MP Hussain Shaheem, or locally known as An'dhun Hussain, came under public scrutiny for his apparent disparaging comments about local immigrants, whereby he went on to comment the plight of Male' citizens were the same as the situation of Palestinians.

The controversial lawmaker went on to claim previous administrations had visibly failed in catering to the needs of Male' City residents.
