Former Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed on Sunday condemned the country's minister's derogatory remarks against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the row that erupted after Maldives ministers mocked PM Modi's Lakshadweep visit. He said the language used by the minister Mariyam Shiuna was "appalling" and said India is a "key ally" for the security and prosperity of the archipelago 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 (sic)," the Maldives' first democratically-elected President, Nasheed, wrote on X.
Mariyam Shiuna, Deputy Minister of Youth Empowerment in the Maldives, had called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "clown" and "puppet" in now-deleted posts on X. The tweets were taken down after backlash on the micro-blogging site.
