Prime Minister Modi's Lakshadweep Visit Exposes Tension In India-Maldives Ties | English News

A series of posts on X from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, promoting tourism in Lakshadweep islands, triggered a social media war among Maldivian politicians, government officials and Indian social media users.

During his visit to the Union Territory, PM Modi had said “For those who wish to embrace the adventurer in them, Lakshadweep has to be on your list.” There were no references to the Maldives or any other island nation popular with tourists. However, this post evoked strong reactions online. Some prominent Maldivian social media users reacted to the post with offensive and derogatory comments.
