I had no such meeting with the former prime minister. Very sad that there are elements in the Maldives who want to fabricate these stories," Nasheed said.Nasheed who was recently appointed by Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe to coordinate the relief efforts for Sri Lanka, globally, said his role in Colombo was to attract assistance for the country during this time of crisis and Sri Lanka's internal problems was for the Sri Lankan people to settle. "We need to focus the issues at heart here. And I will continue to be of assistance to the Sri Lankan people," he said.When questioned if an exit from Sri Lanka to the Maldives was discussed in the meeting he had with SLPP MP Namal Rajapaksa, Nasheed said this matter was not discussed and discussions only focused on how the Maldives could help the Sri Lankan people at this timeSource :- <a href="https://www.dailymirror.lk/top_story/Maldivian-Parliament-Speaker-Nasheed-to-facilitate-safe-haven-for-Mahinda-in-the-Maldives/155-237622" target="_blank">www.dailymirror.lk/top_story/Maldivian-Parliament-Speaker-Nasheed-to-facilitate-safe-haven-for-Mahinda-in-the-Maldives/155-237622</a></blockquote>
