Modi’s photoshoot in Lakshadweep drew strong reactions from Maldives leaders
The permanent smell in the rooms will be the biggest downfall: Zahid Rameez
Why should we tolerate such unprovoked hate?: Akshay Kumar
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s photoshoot in Lakshadweep drew strong reactions from Maldives leaders as it was perceived as a response to the Maldives government’s request for retreat of the military personnel in its territories. “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,” Zahid Rameez, a council member at Progressive Party, Maldives posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Various Indian celebrities have condemned the statement and have urged Indians to visit islands in India instead. “Came across comments from prominent public figures from Maldives passing hateful and racist comments on Indians. Surprised that they are doing this to a country that sends them the maximum number of tourists. We are good to our neighbours but why should we tolerate such unprovoked hate? I’ve visited the Maldives many times and always praised it, but dignity first. Let us decide to explore Indian islands and support our own tourism,” Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar expressed.

Ex-cricketer Venkatesh Prasad also stated that this a great opportunity to develop tourist destinations in India. “A deputy minister using such language for our country. Maldives is a largely poor country largely dependent on upmarket tourism with over 15% tourists from India. India has very many unexplored beautiful coastal towns,” he stated.
