New Delhi. As soon as Prime Minister Narendra Modi goes to Lakshadweep, there is an uproar in the neighboring country Maldives. Leaders and ministers of Maldives are commenting against India on social media. In such a situation, the Government of India has raised the issue of the derogatory remarks made on social media by Mariam Shiuna, Women Minister of Maldives’ Muizzu Government, against PM Modi. The Maldives government has termed the minister’s comments as his personal opinion.
The government of Mohammed Muizzu of Maldives, which won the recent elections with the slogan of ‘India Out’, is adopting an anti-India stance.
