Economic Minister Fayyaz Ismail has declared that India has it within its powers to kill the Maldivian people and capture Maldives, if it wanted to capture the island state.

He made the remark in response to a question submitted by a listener during Dhivehi Raajjeyge Adu’s radio show ‘Ahaashey Bunaanan’ on Saturday.

Fayyaz said that India would have already captured Maldives if it wished to do so, and that there was “nothing that could be done to prevent it”.
