I respect @geelaali, but this is unacceptable.
Addu dialect is Maldivian language.
Rather than responding in a mocking tone, the you could simply have asked @SobeAbdulla to repeat the question. In UK Parliament, cabinet ministers ask Scottish MPs to repeat their questions, sometimes more than once, when they struggle with strong Scottish accents. No one considers this disrespectful, it is a normal courtesy.
Majlis exists to ensure ministers respond to questions from citizens, who are represented by their MPs. Dismissing a question by claiming not to understand it is unacceptable. The appropriate response would have been to politely ask Sobe to repeat the question more slowly, or to request that it be asked in official Dhivehi if necessary. Neither was done.
Language must never be used as an excuse in Majlis to dodge legitimate questions.

This is today morning. I took this picture. Last night in MDP haruge a normal citizen asked Anni to meet him in the office to listen his concerns. He noted his number. He met the person in MDP office today morning. His 2nd task today
Listened to him. Asked secretariat staffs to attend his problems
I don’t know any other political leader who listens to the normal citizens like Anni does
