By Dr. S.Chandrasekharan.
The judiciary continues to be the weakest link in Maldives in its march towards democracy. Except for the opposition MDP, no other political party appears to be concerned by the poor performance of the judiciary. What is more, the Judicial commission which is supposed to be the “Watch Dog” over functioning of the judiciary appears to be highly politicised.

It is very unfortunate that almost all the political parties except the MDP are using religion as a political tool to keep former president Nasheed from winning the presidential elections this September. Their main thrust in the election campaign is that all the parties are out to save Islam from Nasheed and his MDP!

Looking at the developments in Maldives, one gets the feeling that President ( by accident as some prefer to call him) Waheed does not appear to be in control of the events. In a moment of frustration he is said to have remarked that "Everybody runs the State as they please" and this has been widely reported in the press.
