Following the controversy that occurred after Maldives ministers made fun of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Lakshadweep, former Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed denounced the nation's minister's disparaging statements against PM Modi on Sunday, January 7. He called the minister Mariyam Shiuna's words "appalling" and described India as a "key ally" for the safety and economic well-being of the nation. "What appalling language by Maldives Government official Mariyam Shiuna towards the leader of a key ally, that is instrumental for the Maldives’ security and prosperity. The Mohamed Muizzu government must distance itself from these comments and give clear assurance to India they do not reflect government policy", the latter wrote on X. For the unversed, PM Modi was referred to as a "clown" and a "puppet" by Mariyam Shiuna, the Maldives' deputy minister of youth empowerment, in posts that have since been removed from X.
