Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu declared during a parliamentary address, "We will not allow any country to interfere with or undermine our sovereignty," as he announced the withdrawal of Indian troops by May 10. The move sparked criticism, with opposition parties boycotting the speech and considering impeachment. Muizzu's anti-India stance contrasts with historical ties, emphasizing reduced Indian influence. Opposition leaders urge Muizzu to apologize to India, emphasizing the importance of stable regional security. India has provided humanitarian aid and medical support, but Muizzu's move signals a strategic shift in foreign policy.
