In an audio publicized by opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) on Wednesday night of the statement given by Moosa Jaleel to the Parliament's Government Accountability Committee, the ex-army chief is heard saying that given the situation outside and inside the army barracks on February 7, 2012 Nasheed had no option but to resign. In the statement given to the committee's closed door meeting, Moosa Jaleel said it was quite apparent that the head of State was made powerless when the security forces gathered at the republic square demanding his resignation. During the first rally held by MDP at the turn of the new year, the audio of former Police Commissioner Ahmed Faseeh said when the Police disobeyed orders and began to act on their own, he had told Nasheed that "they had instigated a coup." "President called and asked me what they have done. I told him I really didn't know. They [Police] have brought about a coup," Faseeh said. "They have disobeyed orders and are now acting on their own." Faseeh said a sense of “Maumoonism” had crept into the minds of the Police at the time. He also alleged that without warning the present Defence Minister Mohamed Nazim had asked for his resignation. Ex-Police Chief further said the Commission of National Inquiry's (CoNI) report had not best reflected the information he had provided. In the audio of the former military intelligence Head Mohamed Nilam, he insisted that a coup cannot be brought about without the military's involvement. He added that Nasheed was "helpless" on February 7. "It was a heartbreaking time" to see the people entrusted with the responsibility of protecting the independence and sovereignty of the nation acting in such a manner, Nilam added. The Commonwealth backed CoNI constituted to probe the circumstances surrounding the transfer of power had ruled that the regime change was constitutional and Nasheed had stepped down on his own free will.
