As the rift between Maldives and India escalates over insulting comments made by three Maldivian ministers targeting PM Modi, former Deputy Speaker Eva Abdulla apologizes, condemning the remarks as "shameful and racist." Abdulla urges an end to the #BoycottMaldives campaign, emphasizing that the comments do not reflect the views of the Maldivian people. Tensions rose after PM Modi's posts from Lakshadweep sparked calls for it as an alternative tourist destination. The Maldivian government suspends the ministers responsible, while Abdulla stresses the importance of strong India-Maldives ties and hopes for a crackdown on such comments in the future.
