According to prime minister Navin Ramgoolam,  Dulloo’s removal from office is due to the fact that he has not shown solidarity with the government action.

“A Senior Minister cannot have a foot inside and a foot outside”, Ramgoolam told the press this afternoon.

“I will never accept being blackmailed and this has never worked with me”.

“In a government we need solidarity and loyalty and he has chosen a bad time especially when the country is progressing”.

After a meeting of his national comity of his party, Dulloo voiced out his frustration to the press yesterday.

“Members of the party are not satisfied with the performance of the Social Alliance and today is 1,000 days we are in government and the main leaders have never met”, Dulloo told.

“I have got a white card to discuss and establish contacts with other political parties and I have met Opposition Leader Paul Bérenger twice”.

Dulloo a law graduate from the Middle Temple in London, he has been the Foreign Affairs Minister since July 5, 2005 when he joined the government of the Prime Minister, Dr Navinchandra Ramgoolam.

He was first elected during the 1976 general elections under the banner of the Mauritian Militant Movement and switched to the newly-created breakaway political party called the Militant Socialist Movement in 1983, where he served as Foreign Minister, Justice Minister and Agriculture Minister.

Acerbic disputes arose in 1994 with the then Prime Minister Sir Anerood Jugnauth and he was revoked to form a new party called the Mauritian Militant Socialist Movement.

From 2003, he has pledged loyalty to the now-ruling Social Alliance government led by the Labour Party since his dismissal.
