Madun Dulloo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Madan Murlidhar Dulloo (born 1949) is a politician and diplomat from Mauritius. A law graduate from the Sorbonne, he has been the foreign minister of that country since July 5, 2005 when he joined the government of the new prime minister, Navin Ramgoolam. Dulloo was first elected during the 1976 general elections under the banner of the Mauritian Militant Movement which very nearly toppled the then Labour-led government. He eventually switched to the newly-created breakaway political party called the Militant Socialist Movement in 1983, where he was foreign minister for two brief periods in 1986 and 1990. He also served as the minister of justice and the minister of agriculture.

Bitter disputes arose in 1995 with the then prime minister Anerood Jugnauth which eventually led him and a group of former sympathisers to form a new party called the Mauritian Militant Socialist Movement. Since 2003, he has pledged loyalty to the now-ruling Labour government.
