Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep is being discussed a lot these days.
Seeing the beauty of Lakshadweep, people are now planning to visit there. Meanwhile, a controversy has arisen on social media regarding the ex-post of a Maldivian minister.
Minister Abdulla Mahjoom Majeed accused India of targeting Maldives. He said that India faces challenges in competing with Maldives in beach tourism.
Indian internet users got angry about this and #boycottmaldives started trending. People are advising the minister to stay updated.
People say that India has more beautiful beaches than Maldives in Lakshadweep and now we do not need to go abroad.
PM Modi recently enjoyed ‘snorkeling’ to explore the life under the sea during his visit to Lakshadweep.
He posted photos of his discovery of life under the sea on social media platform X. He shared his encouraging experience of his stay in the islands located in the Arabian Sea.
He wrote, ‘For those who want a thrilling experience, Lakshadweep should definitely be on their list. During my stay I also tried snorkeling.
What an exhilarating experience it was!’ Modi also shared pictures of his morning walk on the beaches of Lakshadweep and some leisure moments sitting on a chair by the beach. These photos went viral on the internet.
Maldives is growing closer to China
It is known that the post of the Maldives minister regarding PM Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep came at a time when relations between the two countries are going on under tension.
Maldivian President Mohammed Muizzu has demanded India to withdraw its army from his country. Muizzu said a few days ago that if India does not withdraw its army, it will be an insult to the democratic freedom of the people of Maldives.
This would threaten the future of democracy in the Maldives. Not only this, Muizzu is going to visit China from 8 to 12 January.
Muizzu’s predecessor used to visit New Delhi first, followed by China, given the extensive bilateral relations with India and proximity to Maldives.
But in recent times, China has increased its influence in the island nation by investing in some major infrastructure projects in the Maldives.
