In response to a Maldivian MP's social media post criticizing PM Modi's Lakshadweep visit, Maldives Envoy Ibrahim Shaheeb was summoned by India's MEA. Following the controversy, President Mohamed Muizzu took swift action, suspending ministers Malsha Shareef, Mariyam Shiuna, and Abdulla Mahzoom Majid. Shiuna had referred to PM Modi as a "clown" and "puppet" in deleted posts, prompting official distancing from the remarks by the Maldivian government. The incident underscores diplomatic tensions, emphasizing the need for respectful discourse.
