Due to the historical bond between India and Maldives, the relationship between the two countries will always be strong. If Maldives has any problem, India will not be amused. Similarly, Maldives will always support the issues and demands raised by India at international platforms. As a result, the two countries became almost like brothers and sisters.
Maldives pissed off Modi!
However, this bond came to an end last year. Mohamed Muisu won the general election in Maldives last year and became the president. Muhammed Muisu has a completely pro-China stance.
Since China and India do not currently have harmonious relations, China is taking various measures against India. It is being supported by the Maldivian government led by Mohamed Muisu. To top it off, Maldives went so far as to piss off Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Indians hit back!
Last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a post on his X page promoting tourism in India’s Lakshadweep. Below the post, the Maldivian Ministers had posted some comments mocking Modi. This enraged the Indians.
In the immediate aftermath of the incident, lakhs of Indians canceled their Maldives vacations. No Indian tourists ever visit Maldives. At first, Maldives thought this was normal, but as the days went by, the truth came to light. The Maldives, which is entirely dependent on tourism income, began to suffer economically due to the lack of Indian arrivals.
Thank you Maldives!
On the one hand, the economy took a hit, and on the other, there was a food shortage in the Maldives. Seeing this, India forgot the old things and immediately extended a helping hand to the country.
Tons of food items were sent to the Maldives. But Maldives forgot that gratitude within a week and allowed a Chinese spy ship to dock near India. This sent India into a frenzy. The rest of the Indians also shunned the Maldives.
Maldivian Minister who begged!
That’s all, the stalled Maldives issued a statement yesterday through its minister in a pleading tone with India. In a statement issued by the country’s Tourism Minister Ibrahim Faisal, “Maldives and India have historical ties.
Now a new government is in place in the Maldives. The Government of the Maldives and the people of the Maldives are ready to welcome Indian tourists with great love. Indians please come and visit the Maldives. As the Minister of Tourism of the Maldives, I am I am making this request to you because the economy of Maldives depends on tourism,” he said.
