In a response to derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi by Maldivian ministers, Parliamentary Minority leader Ali Azim is urging the removal of President Mohamed Muizzu. Azim called for a vote of no confidence, emphasizing commitment to stable foreign policy and preventing isolation of neighboring countries. The Maldives government suspended three deputy ministers for their remarks, and the Maldivian envoy to India faced strong concerns from the External Affairs Ministry. The incident sparked a backlash in India, with celebrities advocating domestic tourism over Maldives trips. The Maldivian Foreign Ministry clarified that such remarks on social media don't reflect the government's position.
