Male' – Dr. Hassan Saeed, former Attorney General, who resigned last year from 'Valhlhaa Kulli' Dictator's cabinet to joined the reform movement, has been constantly intimidated by the Dictator. Within days after his resignation, his house was attacked and office broken in. The Dictator also told thugs in Male' to physically attack Hassan and his two colleagues, Dr. Shaheed and Jameel, who also resigned from the cabinet. In a new development, the one and only 'Valhlhaa Kulli' Dictator is taking his anger out on Hassan's brothers as well. His brother, Addu Atoll Chief, Hussain Saeed was asked to report to Male' just days after Hassan resigned from the cabinet and is likely to be been demoted to a Headmaster post. And, in a recent development, his other brother Ibrahim Saeed has been sacked from his job at Aminiyya School. Commenting on the issue, Dr. Saeed said, "What can you expect from an autocrat who is staring down at certain electoral defeat? Those are actions of a desperate man seeking desperately to cling on to the spoils of office. I hope that the next time President Gayoom ends up in New Delhi, Dr. Manmohan Singh will remind him of his favourite Victor Hugo quotation: "Even armies cannot stop an idea whose time has come!" In the Maldives, a new president is an idea whose time has come!"
