It is said that Mr. Abdul Gayoom, a former president of Maldives, has also retweeted the tweet issued by the former Attorney General.
Diana Saeed, another former attorney general, also states that he does not have the authority to represent another country while serving as the Speaker of the Maldives.
Another party is urging the government that it should be disclosed whether the Maldivian government will bear the expenses for the visit of the Speaker of the Maldives.
Maldives Speaker Mohamed Nasheed has been appointed as a Climate Change Adviser to Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe.
It is said that there is a group of people who are loyal to Mohammad Nasheed by raising that point.
