Maldive Government's 'Anti-India Stance'..!? Strong Opposition..!?
Two opposition parties have issued a joint statement on the "anti-India stance" of the Maldivian government. Expressing concern over the Maldivian government's "anti-India stance", the country's two main opposition parties, the Maldivian Democratic party (MDP) and the Democratic party declared india a "long-standing ally". Recently, the government of maldives granted permission to inspect a Chinese vessel in the country's port, following which the two parties issued a statement.
Tensions between india and the maldives have escalated over the recent decision of the newly elected Maldivian President, Mohamed Muisu, to make beijing his first port of call after taking office. It is noteworthy that New delhi was the first port of call for the President of Maldives. In a statement released by the opposition parties, "The present government has an anti-India stance. india, a long-standing ally, will play an important role in the development of maldives," it said.

MPD leader and former minister Fayaz Ismail, Deputy Speaker of parliament M.P. ahmed Saleem, leader of the Democratic party M.P. Hasan Latif, and Parliamentary Committee Chairman M.P. Along with ali Azim, held a joint press conference on various governance-related issues. At that time, the two opposition parties, which have 55 seats in the 87-member assembly, promised to cooperate on the ruling party issue. Also expressed concern over foreign policy and transparency issues. It has been reported that mainly there is no transparency about the financial situation in the country and there is no clarity about any MoUs.
Prime minister Modi recently posted a photo of his visit to lakshadweep on the internet. There was a lot of controversy when the country's ministers said that this was propaganda against the Maldives. In response to this, indian stars from various fields also posted on social media that they would no longer go to the Maldives. They also canceled the bookings they had already made for the maldives trip. It is said that this will cause a huge loss to maldives tourism. Meanwhile, the maldives government has suspended all three ministers who criticized prime minister Modi.
