Tensions escalate between India and the Maldives as Indians cancel trips following derogatory tweets by Maldivian Minister Zahid Rameez about Lakshadweep, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit. The Maldivian government, led by President Mohammed Muizzu, known for anti-India rhetoric, faces backlash as three ministers, Malsha Shareef, Mariyam Shiuna, and Abdulla Mahzoom Majid, target PM Modi. All three ministers are suspended, sparking criticism within Maldives. Despite historically strong bilateral relations, strains emerge with the termination of the 2019 Hydrographic pact in December. India asserts Modi's Lakshadweep visit is unrelated to Maldives, adding complexity to diplomatic relations.
