The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Homeland Security, Hinna Khalid, has resigned today. Hinna was appointed to her position in June 2024, but details surrounding her departure remain unclear. 

Coinciding with her resignation, a state minister from the same ministry was removed by the President, leading to speculation regarding possible connections. Rumors suggest that this removal may be linked to the state minister’s relationship with former President Abdulla Yameen. However, it should be noted that Hinna Khalid's resignation may not be related to this particular issue.

Hinna Khalid has been a prominent figure within the Ministry, having previously served as the spokesperson for the Home Ministry and as an undersecretary at the President’s Office during Dr. Waheed’s administration. Her departure raises questions about leadership stability within the ministry, but further information regarding the circumstances of her resignation has yet to be disclosed.
