Minister Imran said that the police are working within the law and regulation to halt such activities and that law enforcement had received information about the planned rally for next Friday.
Imran further said that Ministry had spoken to the opposition and informed them that they cannot hold the rally in Male' next Friday.
However, the opposition had denied this.
