Notably, ‘Boycott Maldives’ started trending on social media after a Maldives minister and some citizens posted anti-Indian comments on X.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently visited Lakshadweep. He praised the beauty of Lakshadweep, “Recently I had the opportunity to be among the people of Lakshadweep. I am still in awe of the stunning beauty of the islands and the incredible warmth of the people. I got a chance to interact with people in Agatti, Bangaram and Kavaratti. I thank the people of the islands for their hospitality. Here are some glimpses, including aerial views of Lakshadweep.

However, several Maldians and the country’s ministers targeted Prime Minister Modi.
