In a statement to ThePrint, Rodrigues said he was “a soldier without a uniform”. “I will deal with existential threats to my country with all tools at my disposal,” he asserted.
Neither confirming nor denying any role in the MDP plans to impeach Muizzu, Rodrigues further said that as a journalist, he was in touch with different leaders as part of his job.
Last year, the Goa Chronicle, an online news portal which he helms, ran a series of reports alleging that family members of Muizzu were linked to terrorism plots in India.
In a long statement on ‘X’ Monday, referring to The Post report, Rodrigues said: “Their recent exposé, aimed at discrediting me, is not an indictment of my actions but a testament to the truth I represent and the challenges I confront in the defence of my country.”
“Evidence has repeatedly pointed to Maldivian terror groups aligned with ISIS and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) orchestrating covert sleeper cell operations in India,” he alleged.
“I stand by my actions, unapologetic and resolute. If defending my country requires me to act 100 times over, I will do so without hesitation. If it means shedding the last drop of my blood to ensure my nation’s safety, so be it,” he added.
