India refrains from commenting on reports of an impeachment motion against Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu by the main opposition party. The Maldivian Democratic Party claims to have gathered enough signatures, but the Opposition is yet to submit the motion in Parliament. Tensions between India and Maldives persist since Muizzu's election, marked by diplomatic disagreements, including demands for Indian troop withdrawal and breaking tradition by visiting Turkey first. The recent decision allowing a Chinese research vessel to dock raises strategic concerns. India maintains it's an internal matter for Maldives.
