Maldives ministers face backlash for derogatory remarks against Indian PM Modi, leading to flight booking suspensions and social media uproar.
In a recent social media storm, Maldives Deputy Minister of Youth Empowerment Mariyam Shiuna faced backlash for making derogatory remarks about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Maldives government took swift action, suspending three deputy ministers for their insulting posts. This move came after India officially expressed concerns over the disrespectful comments made on a popular social media platform. As a result, #BoycottMaldives trended on social media, with many Indians cancelling their trips to the picturesque island nation.
The suspension of the ministers further escalated tensions between Maldives and India. Flight booking platforms such as EaseMyTrip and MakeMyTrip suspended reservations to the Maldives in solidarity with India. The diplomatic row intensified as prominent Indians called for a boycott of the Maldives, citing the derogatory remarks made by the suspended officials. This incident revealed underlying fault lines in the relationship between the two countries, highlighting the sensitivity of diplomatic relations in the region.
Amidst the uproar, former Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed praised India as a key ally in ensuring the security and prosperity of the archipelago nation. The suspension of the ministers reflects a temporary strain in ties between Maldives and India, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and diplomacy in international relations.
