What is the Maldives controversy?
Recently, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Lakshadweep, from where some of his pictures were also revealed on social media. After PM Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep, the Laccadive, Minicoy, and Amindive islands have emerged as a perfect alternative to Maldives, which was followed by Maldives Minister Abdulla Mahzoom Majeed passing hateful and racist comments on Indians. He wrote in a tweet that India will have to face difficult challenges to compete with Maldives in the matter of tourism.
The matter didn’t end there, commenting on the post, Zahid Rameez, leader of Maldives’ ruling party- Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM), wrote, ‘Good step. However, the idea of competing with us is misleading. How can they provide the service we provide? How can they be so clean? The biggest downfall is the smell coming from the rooms.’ This did not go well with Indian celebrities and several famous personalities have fired back at the Maldives ministers for their hateful comments.
