When 'Vathanee' Becomes Selective

Today’s Civil Court ruling reminded me of a conversation I had with a staunch DQP supporter some years ago—someone who tried hard to convince me to vote for Hassan Saeed, not because of policies or ideology, but because he was from Addu.

His argument was simple (and I remember it as clearly as if it was yesterday): “If we want to expedite the development of Addu, we need a president who is from Addu—someone who loves this place enough to make it the second Malé.”

Their campaign was thick with nationalism—“Vathanee” was the theme. The undertone? Electing someone from Malé (like Mohamed Nasheed) would only repeat the neglect Addu suffered under Maumoon. They even went so far as to brand Anni with labels and religious slanders, using fear as a campaign tool.

But fast forward to today, and that same individual could not offer a consistent argument when I raised the contradictions between what they believed then and the political realities now. He ended the conversation abruptly—perhaps I struck a nerve still beating with “Vathanee” sentiment.

Politics has a funny way of exposing not just the double standards of systems—but also of those who claim to challenge them.
