Netizens call out ‘Maldivians’ over minister’s rant; share pics to show how Lakshadweep leads the race

While several netizens are canceling their scheduled trip to Maldives, others are urging the tourists to explore the hidden treasure of India Lakshadweep which is indeed a perfect alternative to the island country

New Delhi: Tensions between India and Maldives are escalating rapidly since Maldivian Minister Mariyam Shiuna made crude remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a now-deleted X post.

Following Shizua’s derogatory words for the PM, Zahid Rameez, a member of the Progressive Party of Maldives Senate also ignited the controversy by belittling PM Modi’s efforts to promote Lakshadweep Tourism in his recent Twitter (X) post.

In his outrageous post, Rameez ranted about Maldives’ beauty and claimed that India’s Lakshadweep doesn’t stand a chance against his country when it comes to tourism.

He wrote, “The move is great. However, the idea of competing with us is delusional. How can they provide the service we offer? How can they be so clean? The permanent smell in the rooms will be the biggest downfall.”

Netizens calls for boycotting Maldives

Rameez and Mariyam Shiuna’s nasty digs at PM Modi are now attracting heavy backlash from the Indian people, sportspersons & celebs who are now calling for boycotting Maldives as their tourist destination on various social media platforms.

While several netizens are canceling their scheduled trip to Maldives, others are urging the tourists to explore the hidden treasure of India Lakshadweep which is indeed a perfect alternative to the island country.

In an attempt to prove Lakshdweep’s supremacy over the Maldives, many are also sharing enchanting & mesmerizing pictures and videos from the hidden archipelago of 36 islands that stand tall against the Island country in terms of natural beauty.

Dropping several breathtaking videos of Lakshdweep’s natural beauty, one user wrote, “This is not Maldives This is India This is our beautiful Lakshwadeep.”

Another person also shared a clip of captivating Lakshadweep beaches and wrote “We welcome all the tourists of the world to our Lakshadweep. Promote India tourism.”

A third one hailed Lakshadweep over Maldives saying, ‘Why should we Indians go to the Maldives when we have Lakshadweep It is more beautiful than the Maldives”
