Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu adjusts stance on the Indian troop removal issue, emphasizing the need for calm dialogue instead of confrontation. Initially, Muizzu set a deadline for India to withdraw troops, accusing them of bullying. However, facing backlash from the public and opposition, he now acknowledges the importance of diplomatic norms and clear communication. Former President Abdulla Yameen attributes strained relations with India to derogatory remarks by deputy ministers. As the diplomatic fallout continues, calls for Muizzu to apologize to India emerge. The Indian troop presence in the Maldives has been a point of contention, with ongoing discussions on the matter.
