The ‘derogatory’ remarks by Maldives Deputy Minister of Youth Empowerment Mariyam Shiuna against Prime Minister Narendra Modi sparked outrage in India. India has raised its serious concerns with the Maldivian authorities through diplomatic channels, and social media also remained abuzz with Indians condemning the language used against PM Modi. As the rift widened, #ExploreIndianIslands started trending on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) where Indians praised the exquisite beauty of Indian islands and requested the citizens to prefer them over Maldives.
Mariyam Shiuna’s remarks against PM Modi came in response to the recent visit of the Indian Prime Minister to the Union Territory of Lakshadweep. PM Modi shared his experience in Lakshadweep with some scenic pictures from the island. The Maldivian minister commented on one such picture and used derogatory words like ‘clown’ and ‘puppet’ for the Prime Minister of India.
