During a press conference held by the Party's Activities Committee on Monday.

The opposition PPM/PNC coalition has said that they have decided to go on a protest to mark National Day tomorrow.

Addressing a press conference on behalf of the opposition movement committee, its president Mohamed Ismail said that the opposition has decided to stage a protest at the fish market area at 4 pm tomorrow.

Speaking on the occasion, Mohamed Ismail said that the opposition's event is a tribute to the 19 martyrs who left the world for the sake of the Maldives. 

The Maldives has been celebrating the day from November 3, 1988 to the present day, and we have started to announce that we will gather at the fish market area on November 3 at 4:00 pm to protest against the attempts to bury it

said Mohamed Ismail

Mohamed Ismail said the opposition's efforts were sincere in preserving the lost values of the maldives.

Noting that the entire country was crying when the blood of 19 Maldivians was poured on the ground in Male' city on November 3, Mohamed Ismail said that for 18 hours, the people of the whole country were in darkness. He said the locals did not even know who had the system of governance in the country for so long.

According to Mohamed Ismail, it is important to let everyone know that the events of November 3rd began with the families of individuals who held prominent positions in the current government. He claimed that if they are neglected now, the Maldivian ideals will be forgotten, and the victims' sacrifice should be recreated that day.

Mohamed Ismail further said that the opposition's efforts are a national effort and therefore the coalition wants people living in Male', Hulhumale', Villimale' and nearby islands to participate in tomorrow's event. 

Previously, The opposition PPM-PNC on November 2, 2019, also hosted a protest to celebrate Victory Day.
