PM Modi derogatory comments lead to suspension of three Maldives ministers

In a significant development, the Maldives government has suspended three ministers, Mariyam Shiuna, Malsha Shareef, and Mahzoom Majid, due to their derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The decision follows a demand for action from former presidents, including Mohammad Nasheed and Ibrahim Solih, who condemned the ministers' statements against PM Modi. The remarks triggered a substantial backlash on social media, prompting the government to distance itself from the comments and characterize them as 'personal opinions.'

Former president Ibrahim Solih expressed concern over the use of hateful language against India, emphasizing the longstanding friendship between the Maldives and India. Additionally, former Maldives foreign minister Abdulla Shahid called the remarks reprehensible and urged the government to take stern action against the officials. The incident occurs as Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu seeks funds in Beijing, with the derogatory remarks potentially impacting diplomatic relations.
