Military had already sprayed citizens with rubber bullets, injuring scores. Military refused to kill citizens and said they will not obey orders any more. Nasheed had to resign once he lost the support of the military.” However, his family told Firstpost that the description of the video is misleading and what he is asking MNDF (Maldivian National Defence Force) is to protect his country and not to shoot the protesters. This is a campaign to discredit him, his family said. Watch the video here:
